Step into the world of high art, hidden secrets and deadly deception with Murder Mystery Party Case File: The Art of Murder. This immersive murder mystery experience puts you and your fellow investigators in charge of solving a shocking homicide that has left New York's art scene reeling. Augustus Millbrae, the wealthy and influential owner of the prestigious Bohemia Gallery, was unveiling his highly anticipated Art of Murder exhibition when the unimaginable happened. Before a crowd of artists, critics, collectors, and guests, Augustus became the exhibit's most disturbing centerpiece—found impaled on one of the gallery's sculptures. The case should be straightforward. Except every artist featured in the exhibit has confessed to the crime. Why? Because Augustus's death has sent the value of their artwork soaring. Fame, fortune, and notoriety are suddenly within reach, and each artist is eager to claim responsibility. But only one confession is true. The rest are lies designed to capitalize on a tragedy. As the lead investigator, you'll sift through a collection of evidence, analyze crime scene photographs, examine witness statements, uncover hidden connections, and separate fact from fiction. Follow the clues to determine who had the motive, means, and opportunity to commit the murder. Which suspect stood to gain the most? Who had access to the murder weapon? And who was in the right place at exactly the wrong time? Inside the case file you'll find 23 pieces of evidence, 20 evidence photographs, a newspaper article, suspect sheet, instructions, a case folder and access to online hints and solutions if you need assistance along the way. Perfect for solo detectives, couples, families, and groups of friends, The Art of Murder delivers an engaging true-crime-style investigation packed with twists, red herrings, and surprises. Gather the evidence, challenge every confession and discover which artist turned murder into their masterpiece.
