It’s 1958, and tonight’s the night of the big dance-off at Al’s Diner. The whole town is abuzz with excitement, as the finals are going to be broadcast live on national TV! Click Dark, the host of “Dance-a-Palooza,” is in town, as is Ballou Swadeschuss, the big rock and roll star, who will be giving out the trophy. The contest is narrowed down to three couples and suddenly, there is a scream—Mr. See has been found, stabbed through the heart.
But who could have murdered him? A jealous contestant? A disapproving audience member?
Or could it have been—YOU?
Appropriate for ages 12+!
