Secrets of the Silver Screen

Secrets of the Silver Screen is a fully scripted murder mystery dinner party game set in the Golden Age of Hollywood. When leading lady Ruby Bloom is found poisoned in her dressing room, every guest becomes a suspect — and a detective. Can you unravel the clues and solve the murder before coffee is served?

Each player takes on a character role, complete with background, motives, and secrets. Over the course of the evening, players mingle, share clues, and piece together the evidence. The game builds to a final Big Reveal where the murderer is unmasked — detailed setup instructions make it straightforward to host.
