Blood on the Boardwalk

A 1950s seaside resort hides dark secrets

The Story

It's the summer of 1957 at Sunset Beach, and the grand opening of the new boardwalk is in full swing. But when beloved carnival owner Frankie Marino is found dead near the Ferris wheel, the celebration turns into an investigation. Your guests will step into the shoes of 1950s archetypes—greasers, beauty queens, crooners, and beach bums—as they navigate a world of rock 'n' roll, teenage rebellion, and deadly secrets hidden beneath the wholesome facade of post-war America.
