"Balmy Bahamas Cruise" Murder Mystery Party
Friday, June 19 at 7 p.m. - Zoom video chat 
ONLINE REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Adults! Feeling salty about missing vacation due to Covid-19? Does the idea of a packed cruise ship make you feel a dry cough coming on? Travel with CCM (virtually) to an island paradise... of murder!
Tilly Song (a megastar singer) has hired a luxury-plus cruiser to see the Bahamas and have a holiday. She has invited a variety of other famous people along to share the lobster. But just as the party was about to start, Karl Virgil, musician and mad-man troublemaker, has been found overboard as full of water as he was of his own self importance. Was it one of the singers, actors, the tennis or basketball star, or someone else? You decide!
You'll recieve your character case file and Zoom log in information via email. The more into character you get, the more fun the game! Dress according to the costume suggestions, pour yourself a drink, and let's solve a murder together!
