Death Becomes Zeus Murder Mystery

It was meant to be a night of divine celebration. High above the mortal world, the Gods of Olympus gathered for a night of festivities and feasting. The air crackled with power and pride as immortal beings, radiant, and ruthless descended upon the mountaintop for a grand feast hosted in celebration of the union of Aphrodite and Hephaestus. Ambrosia flowed like wine, and laughter echoed through marble halls. But as the hours passed, the throne at the head of the table remained empty. Whispers replaced revelry. Where was Zeus? A ripple of unease spread among the Gods. At last, Hermes was sent to fetch the missing king. But when the fleet-footed messenger returned, it was not with Zeus... but with the terrible truth. Zeus was dead. Struck down in his private chamber before the feast had even begun. No thunder. No warning. Only silence. Shock turned to suspicion. After all, who among them would kill a God? And more importantly... who among them could? Only a select few could have carried out such a divine betrayal. Was it Hera, the long-suffering wife with a crown but no control? Demeter, still furious at her daughter’s abduction? Aphrodite, denied her freedom or Ares, denied his love? Hades rules the underworld but may want more than what lies below. Or was it Poseidon, forever second to the sky? As the skies darken and thunder mourns its fallen master, one truth becomes clear: Even Gods can die.

Our First Original Murder Mystery Production;

Once Upon a Crime.

Once upon a time, in a kingdom where fairy tales were real and happily-ever-after was expected, Prince Charming hosted a lavish masquerade ball to celebrate a hard-won peace among the fairy tale realms. The grand royal palace sparkled with candlelight and glamour as familiar characters from every corner of storybook legend arrived in their finest gowns, capes, and enchanted accessories.

The mood was festive, but beneath the laughter and music lurks tension. Whispers ripple through the ballroom, rumors of secret affairs, broken promises, and dangerous ambitions. Some guests raise a glass in toast, while others raise an eyebrow in suspicion.

Just as the clock strikes midnight, the ballroom lights flicker. A sudden chill falls over the room, and darkness. A scream pierces the silence.

When the lights return, all eyes turn to the grand staircase.

At the top, lies Prince Charming, dead.

A glass slipper, shattered and jagged, protruding from his chest.

Panic erupts. The doors are sealed. No one may leave. Somewhere in this room, the killer is still among us.
