New York, August 1962. Welcome to the city that never sleeps! Everybody who was anybody had come to Manhattan to celebrate the opening of the magnificent Grand Hotel &ndash; aspiring politicians, powerful industrialists and beautiful actresses. The largest luxury hotel in the United States was set on redefining the term &ldquo;five-star&rdquo;, and was also to be the crown jewel in the empire of Frederic Price. The hotel tycoon was one of the richest men in the country. Since his marriage to the actress D&oacute;ra Galor, he was now even better known than before.
The opening speeches were full of praise, and the guests ate and drank copious amounts from the five-course menu. The evening had all the hallmarks of an incredible coming-together of American high society. Once the official part of the event was over, the guests gathered for an exuberant cocktail party at the longest hotel bar in the entire city. But the evening took a tragic turn when the young actress Monique&nbsp;Moreau was found dead in the bathtub of her hotel suite late in the evening. The idea that the young woman, described by the media as the next D&oacute;ra Galor, would take her own life is rejected by everyone as incredible.
The police were informed immediately. But it will take the authorities hours to search the entire hotel and secure all the relevant evidence. You have all been requested to stay here in the lobby. Until the police have questioned everybody, you are all on your own in solving the mystery, asking the questions: what happened this evening? How could the opening celebration end so tragically?

He is the embodiment of the American dream. Born the son of a working-class man in the Bronx, the hotelier is now one of the richest men in the country.

Murder at the Grand Hotel

Welcome to the exciting world of Minebury City Theatre! You have all been working towards this premiere for a long time: &ldquo;Romeo and Juliet&rdquo; by William Shakespeare.
But the production seems ill-fated. Patrick was rejected a few weeks ago when he asked Juliet&rsquo;s hand in marriage. As such, everyone was anxious to see how it would turn out when the two lead actors appeared on stage together. At first the premiere seemed to run smoothly. At 8:00&nbsp;pm, the curtain rose in front of a full house. The play lasted three hours including the intermission.
At the end of the play, at 11:00&nbsp;pm, the tragedy occurred: Juliet picked up the stage dagger behind the stage from amongst the other props. She dramatically thrust the blade into her body. At first the audience was enthralled by her impressive performance. But when Patrick saw Juliet&rsquo;s blood and called out for a doctor, the audience realised what they had just witnessed was in fact a real tragedy: Somebody had switched the stage dagger with a real knife.
Arriving shortly after, the emergency services could do nothing but pronounce Juliet dead at the scene. The question is: Which of the people present is responsible for Juliet&rsquo;s gruesome death?

With his glassy eyes he is the perfect actor to play messed up ­characters. The press praises him highly.

Deadly Fame

Some time ago, the old company patriarch and rich businessman Anthony Westongrove invited his children to the grand family manor to celebrate his 70th birthday yesterday.
Once all of the family members arrived at the manor on Friday afternoon, an extravagant feast was served at 7:00&nbsp;pm. It promised to be a wonderful evening ...
But the birthday celebration came to an unpleasant end when Anthony was rushed to hospital during the night after feeling faint. Concerned, the entire family stayed at Westongrove Manor and waited for the head of the family to make his return. Today, on Saturday afternoon, Anthony was finally released from the hospital. His unconsciousness turned out to be caused by poisoning. It would appear that one of the guests was after his blood.
