You will make up your costumes for the time period that you select. Maybe you'll visit Goodwill to find a costume article.

Example: for the one that is set in the Old West, in Hillsboro Holler, Texas. Think what kind of characters there are to play: gunslinger, barmaid, storekeeper, schoolteacher, sheriff, innkeeper, drover, judge, stable hand, blacksmith, saloonkeeper, rancher, floosey, sheepherder, cardshark, etc.

The 1895 Tarlton House at dark....something goes bump in the night.
Gone are the days of boring cocktail parties! That last dull sales meeting is forever history. Your strategic planning session or retreat can be spiced up by the sounds of havoc, mayhem, and MURDER!!! 
A sense of humor is required, and a willingness to take a light hearted attitude about deception, blackmail, larceny, folks of "ill-repute" and murder.  The game is played over the course of a weekend, Friday night through Sunday morning. Working a series of clues, your job is to solve the mystery,  discover the murderer, and prove yourself innocent of the crime.  Such fun must be criminal !!  
     

How about a weekend of blood-curdling screams and skullduggery?? We set the stage on Friday night (Let the Game begin!); you don your Sleuth hat to find your clues on Saturday, then everything comes to dramatic finale on Saturday night, and with your expertise, you figure out who dun it!
