The story so far
The evening
The Cold War is over and the age of terrorism is dwindling. Finally, after years of espionage and counter-espionage, the opposing groups have arranged talks to see if an agreement can be reached.
Tonight, in a top secret location in an expensive and exclusive hotel, selected evil masterminds and members of the various intelligence agencies have gathered for the first of these momentous talks.
However, before M can make any opening remarks, a body is discovered. Roger Damsels, MI6’s top secret agent, has had his license to kill terminated. Permanently.
With such a mix of spies and villains within the walls, who had the most to gain?

The line-up
Meet the suspects
Your guests play these characters, and every one of them has something to hide.
6 suspects · 2 female, 2 male, 2 any gender
Kitty With-Claws
A pussycat you wouldn’t want to mess with.
This well-dressed beauty is more than equipped to kill any would-be suitor.
Female
Scaryminger
The man with the golden bum.
Living on a desert island, Scaryminger is always able to perfect his all-over tan, right down to his third nipple.
Male
Cuttlefishy
More than a sweet distraction.
With floaty dresses and a serene expression, you could easily be mistaken into thinking Cuttlefishy was an easy catch.
Female
Ernst FuzzyFelt
The man with the white cat.
Despite his keen love of white felines, Ernst’s dark suit never even carries a hair.
Male
Cary Files
An ally at the CIA.
When you need to call in the cavalry, Cary has weaponry and enough ammunition to sink a battleship.
