How does this work?
THE RULES
There are a few simple rules that go along with the murder mystery dinner:
1. Every guest will be given two secrets (privately, via email from Molly and Lindsey). One they will try to conceal. The other, they will endeavor to reveal. Please MEMORIZE these details.
2. No guest may lie. If your secret is revealed, you must admit it and explain yourself. Dramatic confessions encouraged.
3. Additional clues will be revealed throughout the night. There will be an opportunity for final accusations before the solution is given.
And your parts are...
Ladies and Gentleman,
Ryan

Below are your parts, which have been carefully selected for you. Please take some time to read through your character's description, put yourself in the headspace of said character, and imagine what they might choose to wear to a formal evening dinner party such as the one where we will be gathering on July 23rd. Then, it is your task to gather the necessary costume for our event. Your host, Mr. X, with our assistance, shall do the rest. Please arrive hungry and thirsty and with a taste for drama!!
