The story so far
The evening
The 1920s. An era of gin, jazz, and rich extravagance.
Perched on the shores of Long Island, the grand Gatsby Manor is home to millionaire media mogul Randolf Fitzgerald. With a reputation for hosting the most lavish parties in the state, a night at Gatsby Manor is an excuse for lavish indulgence and glittering revelry.
This evening, as the dazzling soirée unfolds, the festivities take a much darker turn.
Fitzgerald’s body is discovered amidst all the glamour and it’s clear he didn’t die of natural causes.
Can you discover which New York socialite is to blame?
