Shownotes

Welcome, sleuth, to tonight's case.

A hidden room beneath a quiet storefront. Jazz spilling into the early hours. Drinks poured where the law cannot reach.

In 1923 Chicago, Prohibition did not end the night- it simply moved it underground.

Inside the Canary room, secrets pass as easily as cash. Conversations are half-heard. Deals are made in shadow. And before the night is over, something will go terribly wrong.

As the music fades and the doors close, those who remained behind will find themselves at the center of a mystery built on timing, trust, and the smallest details left behind.

Listen closely.

Are you ready to catch the culprit?

How to Play Along

As you listen, keep your ears sharp for clues- things people say, things they don't say, suspicious objects, and strange coincidences. I'll introduce you to the suspects, take you through the key locations, and walk you step-by-step through the events leading to the death.

Your mission? Decide who caused the death and why. You can jot down notes as we go, a scrap of paper will do.

But beware, there will be red herrings lurking in the shadows, ready to throw you off the scent.

When we reach the end, I'll give you a moment to lock in your guess... before revealing the truth.

Think you can outwit the culprit? Then let's begin...
