Details

In the Golden Age of Hollywood, a director dies surrounded by cast & crew. The murderer is among you. Can you solve the Technicolor Tragedy?

Hollywood, 1939. Welcome to the premiere of The Tragedy of Clytemnestra: The Repression of Electra! The stars are out as producer Roman Goldstein spares no expense to promote the final film of acclaimed director Howard Huston, who mysteriously disappeared six months ago during its production and hasn’t been seen since. Mr. Huston had a reputation for being difficult to work with, but his films are absolute masterpieces of cinema. That he seemingly vanished off the face of the planet was a significant blow to the movie industry as a whole, and the film was finished in his honor.

You are a member of the press, having been invited by Mr. Goldstein to a gala dinner followed by an exclusive viewing of the film. All of the cast and crew will attend, including the three leads: the classically athletic Richard William Johnson, the well-seasoned Florence Niemenen, and the up-and-coming young talent Genevieve Jade.

Meanwhile, a hard-nosed detective has been called out to the La Brea tar pits the morning of the premiere, where a body has been found…
Put your investigative skills to the test in Take 127: A Technicolor Tragedy!
