Run Scenario presents
A Murder Mystery in One Sitting
A leading man falls dead at the curtain. The company is still in the house, and every one of them had a reason.
The Blackstone Theatre · 1887
You are the investigator. The cast is run by AI, each one with their own story to keep straight and their own reasons to lie.
Walk the theatre. Read the room, the props, and the people still in it after the lights came up.
Talk to the company. Press an alibi, catch a contradiction, and watch the tension climb as you close in.
Lay out your evidence and name the killer. Get it right, and the curtain falls on the truth.
Four verbs and a theatre full of suspects.
The stage, the wings, the dressing rooms, the house. Exits and objects are yours to examine.
Open conversations with characters who remember what they told you and react to what you have found.
Inspect props, letters, and the scene. What you collect goes in the file for the accusation.
Confront a suspect with the right piece at the right moment. Tension rises as the truth narrows.
"He took his bow, the house stood, and he did not rise from it. The doors are still locked. Nobody has left. Begin where you like; everyone has a story, and one of them is a lie."
