Midway to Murder In the sizzling summer of 1955, the annual carnival rolls into town, bringing with it the promise of fun, games, and a dash of mystery. Hosted by the charismatic ringmaster Barnum T. Flimflam, the carnival grounds buzz with the sounds of doo-wop music, the clatter of wooden roller coasters, and the excited chatter of visitors in their poodle skirts and greased-back hairdos.
The highlight of the evening is a talent show featuring local celebrities, with the grand prize being a hefty donation to the winner's chosen charity. As families munch on popcorn and try their luck at games of chance, anticipation builds for the final act.
Enter Mike "The Carny" Rophone, the smooth-talking radio personality known for his corny jokes and velvet voice. Mike, looking dapper in his fitted suit, takes a quick nip from his chrome flask before approaching the microphone. But as he grabs the mic to start his routine, he suddenly stops and collapses, leaving him sprawled on the stage like a marionette with cut strings.
The carnival grounds are immediately locked down, with local law enforcement keeping everyone on site. As the night unfolds under the glow of neon lights, dark secrets hidden behind picture-perfect facades come to light. The audience must navigate through a maze of clues, carnival attractions, and suspicious characters to solve this mystery before the killer strikes again.
