Sidney Alive Presents: A Murder Mystery Dinner
Start date: October 26, 2024
End date: October 26, 2024
5:30 p.m.
There’s a derelict space station near the edge of the galaxy. It was empty until
Fishface Pesco from the Gillyx system opened “The Tavern at the End of the Universe”
to serve as a stopover for the assorted nomads wandering in space. Some
of them are strangely familiar to us Earthlings!
They include antiquated spaceship captains, lost hitchhikers, princesses with
wacky haircuts, time-traveling physicians, absent-minded bounty hunters—humans,
androids, furry creatures, amphibious types or any combination. They
come here to rest, relax or maybe close a shady transaction in a private meeting
room.
One night, a rowdy crowd gathers to hear the cantina band. The music stops
suddenly when a body, spattered with what looks like blood, floats past the
viewscreen. Fishface has been killed! He must have been ejected into space from
the closest airlock, and no one had access except the people in this room. One
of YOU is a murderer!
