The Jazz Age's darkest secret is about to be revealed. Can you unmask the killer before the last champagne bubble bursts?
The story
Jay Gatsby's most spectacular party of the summer is in full swing, a dazzling spectacle of wealth and revelry. But amidst the pulsating jazz and flowing champagne, a shocking discovery is made: one of the esteemed guests, Max Power, has been murdered. As the police are inevitably delayed by the sheer chaos of the event, the guests are left to their own devices, trapped within the mansion's gilded walls. Among the glamorous and powerful elite, tensions simmer and old rivalries resurface. Everyone has something to hide, and the motive for murder could be hidden in a stolen glance, a whispered secret, or a long-buried resentment. Can you piece together the fragments of truth scattered amongst the silk and secrets to unmask the killer before they strike again?
Setting: West Egg, Long Island, New York, 1925. The opulent mansion of Jay Gatsby, during one of his legendary, extravagant parties.
