Several new residents of New Orleans—including YOU—are gathered in an apartment to watch a Carnival parade. Someone invited M’sieur Geezaire, an old-timer who claims to know everything about Mardi Gras traditions.
That’s too bad, because Geezaire won’t shut up. His nonstop droning is boring everyone to tears. Then he launches into a new story, all about a humiliating, embarrassing event among last year’s tourists.
Luckily, the first float approaches with its booming zydeco music and the host dims the lights. In the darkness, there is a lot of shuffling around… a strange gurgling sound… and a thud. When the lights come back on, M’sieur Geezaire is lying dead on the floor, strangled with his own Mardi Gras beads.
Whodunit? Clearly, someone in the room didn’t want that embarrassing story finished. Could it have been—YOU?
Appropriate for ages 16+!
This game takes 1-2 hours to play depending on group size.
