The Story

It’s 1952, and P. U. Barnhum’s world-famous three-ring circus has come to Podunk! The town is overwhelmed by the excitement, the lights, the animals, and the—dead body of the ringmaster. Yes, there lies Rhett Coate, shot to death right in the center ring. The circus owner, P. U. Barnhum, is in a tizzy.

Was the murderer a fellow circus performer, like Malcolm Laff the clown, or the trapeze act Jess Fling/Ann Ketch? Was it one of the carnival attractions, like Christa Bawle the fortuneteller or Isalotta Herr the bearded lady? Or maybe it was a member of the audience like Arlo Kell, someone with cause to dread the reappearance of a Podunkian who ran off to join the circus…

But hold onto your popcorn—the murderer may be YOU!

Appropriate for ages 13+!

What a Fun Theme!!

Using Broadway Murder Mysteries was the best decision for my 40th birthday! I ordered the Circus theme and even 2 years later, I can say it was the best party I’ve thrown! All of the materials came ready to use and were very easy to understand and print. Every detail was so thought out and fun. The characters choices were hilarious and my guests couldn’t stop talking about how fun the party was. We plan to do another one in the future, but there are so many amazing themes, it’s hard to decide!
