Featured Murder-Mystery Adventure:
"MURDER SHE RHYMED"
By October 24, 1928, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, a thriving city on the Canadian prairie, had earned its reputation as a “Little Chicago.” Not only was it filled with vice and corruption, but it was also a place where “Scarface” Al Capone himself called the shots.

Night of Mystery
"Murder at the Juice Joint"
A New Years Eve party filled with mystery and intrigue in the wild and romantic era of the roaring 20s!
With the passing of prohibition and organized crime on the rise, The Juice Joint, a swanky speakeasy run by Rosie Marie, has been nothing but jumping. To celebrate its success, Rosie is planning an elaborate New Years Eve party at the exclusive nightspot… and you are invited!
However, one of the names on the guest list is also on another’s hit list… and no one is safe from the consequences.
The Game is Murder, Inc.
Murder at the Super Bowl
The scene: It's halftime at the Super Bowl. The California Sting Rays are leading the Washington Warriors 14 to 7. The halftime extravaganza stage is being set up at mid-field. Up in the broadcast booth, color commentator Cory Conroy bites into his third peanut butter and banana sandwich, clutches his throat, and slumps over his microphone. Booth partner, veteran broadcaster, Vic Broderick, tries the Heimlich maneuver, but Cory is gone without so much as a two-minute warning. Did Cory get a bad banana? Did somebody spike his peanut butter? Who could have done it? Was it a rival broadcaster or maybe the network president? How about one of his ex-wives? Why would anybody want to sack Cory for good?
Murder at the Final Four
The scene: It's the second half of the second semi-final game of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. The Center City University Demons are up by five points over their intrastate rivals, the Portland Panthers. Demons head coach Billy Cromwell is throwing a fit about one of the referee's calls. In mid-tirade, Billy falls down dead. Was that a flagrant foul? Everyone associated with college basketball either loves Billy or hates him. But did someone send him to the final game in the sky? Was it the rival coach, the referee, the tournament chairman, the sponsor, or maybe one of his own players?
