About the Event
You have been invited to a reception honoring a recent archaeological discovery: an artifact that drastically changes what we know about local history. It's a prestigious occasion and you're excited to meet the woman who made the discovery, the daughter of a well-respected local archaeologist.
As the evening begins, however, it's clear that something is not quite right. When a body is discovered in the Museum, the police arrive and immediately ascertain the person was a victim of foul play. Hoping to crack the case quickly, the detective on scene asks the event attendees for assistance with the investigation. Together in teams, you and the other attendees must identify suspects, conduct interviews, and put together clues in a race against time to find the murderer before he or she strikes again.
