Welcome to the Phantom Casino, where you can hear chips clinking and drinks pouring all night long. The Phantom is more than just your standard Vegas gambling den, however. It’s a gathering place for intelligence agents, undercover operatives, and spies of all nations. It’s the perfect spot to win a hand of cards or steal a briefcase of secrets - and tonight, it seems to be the perfect spot to solve a murder.
One of the nation’s top agents lies dead atop the roulette table, and it’s up to the rest of the spies to figure out who did it before the regular police can get involved and spoil everyone’s plans.
Appropriate for ages 13+!

Recommended Gender: Open
Character Description: French Spy. You are a French agent. This Casino is fine for an American establishment, but everyone here should go visit a French place sometime.
Character Description: Gadgeteer. You are an inventor of the finest spy gadgets. You're the best at what you do! Unfortunately, what you do doesn't involve much socializing.
Character Description: British Spy. You are a British intel agent of the very highest classification. You're confident that you are the most competent - and certainly the classiest - agent in the room.
Character Description: Jewel Thief. You're known as one of the world's best jewel thieves, but you'd never rob anyone here at the casino. Now, if anyone wants to buy some jewelry, that's a different story.
Character Description: Hacker. You're not allowed to do any hacking here in the Casino, so you're feeling a little jittery. After this, maybe you'll go break into the FDA database, just for fun.
Character Description: Kid Genius. You're not allowed to drink alcohol, or play any of the cool games, or do anything fun! They let you in to "learn from the grown-ups," but you think they could learn a thing or two from you.
Character Description: Getaway Driver. If you can't be behind the wheel of car, at least you can be hanging out in a casino. The rush is almost as good!
Character Description: Double Agent. You're just a regular apple pie American agent! You love American things, like reality TV and fireworks. Doesn't everyone?
Character Description: Decoder. Most spies have some basic training when it comes to codes and riddles, but they've got nothing on you. You're an expert codebreaker, the best of the best. The rest of them look laughably unintelligent in comparison.
Character Description: Forger. If someone needs a painting, you can recreate it. If they need a document, you can forge it. What you do is an art, and you're an artist.
Character Description: Mad Scientist. You invent all sorts of poisons and super serums and such for lots of different clients. Your favorite thing to invent, however, is a good cocktail! Anyone want to try one?
Character Description: Smuggler. You smuggle all sorts of stuff, but your favorite is rare food and drink! You can get them meals that will blow their minds.
Character Description: Agent of Chaos. You're not an agent for a country - you're an agent for yourself. You like to cause trouble and maximize trouble. Why? For fun, of course!
Character Description: Undercover FBI Agent. You're an agent from Malta, here to pick up a few tips and tricks from the world's most famous spies. You're here to keep your mouth shut and your mind open.
Character Description: Statistician. Everyone here is some sort of spy or thief or secret agent. Not you! You're just a mathematician. That gives you a set of skills that everyone else here needs. You provide your talents - statistical and actuarial analysis - to the highest bidder.
Character Description: Art Thief. Spies usually aren't too fond of your type - thieves - but here in the Casino, everyone gets along. You'd love to talk art with them!
Character Description: Private Investigator. You're not a real spy like everyone else here, you're still in training! Do they have any good spy tips for you?!
Character Description: Rival Casino owner. You were at the Casino tonight to “make peace” with Niro after a years-long feud - but the “peace” was more than a bit fragile.
