“Die 4 U” a Murder Mystery Game presented by FoulPlay Games
Who’s ready to mix tapes and untangle the mystery? Foulplay Games returns to ECCC with a totally killer 90s murder mystery party, Die 4 U! You’ll play as a suspect in a 2-hour whodunnit where pop band VIBE5 and grunge band Drain Flower have been making headlines with their rivalry at an exclusive afterparty. However, the party turns killer when an untimely murder happens, and the bands must scramble to clear their names or their careers will go bye, bye, bye. Discover friends and rivals while bribing and blackmailing other con attendees to find clues and gather information to solve the crime while keeping your own secrets close! No prior experience needed. Ages 12+ recommended. Prizes and swag for participants! No signup required, first come, first served! Join us in Room 437.
