Description

First in Steve Jackson (I)series of adult murder/mystery party games. Not sure if any others followed. Standard issue, very much like How to Host a Murder or Murder Mystery Party line, only no audio tape. However, each invitation includes a mini-newspaper with background information about the murder.

The story line:

Who Killed the Studio Chief?

The date is 1927. The place is Hollywood. The crime is murder. Arthur McCutcheon made a lot of movies. He made a lot of enemies, too. When he was found dead in his luxurious office, it was easy to find suspects. Too many suspects!

Was it...
  • Matt Montgomery, dashing star of the silent screen?
  • Kathleen O'Shea, Superior Studios' leading lady?
  • Olaf Hedrikssen, the brilliant Danish director?
  • Betty Sue Wilson, Iowa farm girl turned starlet?
  • Wilbur Andrews, the famous inventor?
  • Irma Meyers, hair stylist and girl Friday?
  • Alice Chatterly, the gossip columnist?
  • Clyde Willoughby, insurance adjuster and movie buff?
