A who-dunnit chamber larp inspired by Agatha Christie and the twenties, but less about who actually dunnit, and more about dressing/cross-dressing, and roleplaying in a ridiculously DRAMATIC fashion.
This is a murder mystery larp set in the 1920s, where a rich family hold a party (in this case we made it a charity function for urchins). Players embodied characters closely entwined by intrigues and secrets.
During the game, one of the participants is dramatically poisoned. A series of accusations are made, but the intent of the game is less about actually solving clues or divulging the 'real' murderer, and more about causing havoc, being extremely dramatic, and accusing whoever it would benefit your character to accuse.
The game was written by Karolina Soltys and you can find out more here: https://arsenicandlies.com/ and you can download this free language pamphlet.

Once Sigmund Gistavo Apolyptico Shminelshmangel III had been dramatically poisoned, the party (instead of calling the police) started to make wild accusations against each other. They finally held a seance with the dead and discovered that the Duchess of Lancaster had poisoned Shmingleshmangle, after discovering he was her long lost half brother and fearing he would inherit the family fortune...
