THE DEVIL WEARS BREVADA


*All Female* Murder Mystery Dinner Party Game for 6-12 players

It's the flash brash 1980's. Big perms, big shoulder pads and big attitude. Brevada magazine sales are riding high, blazing a trail that other women's publications can only watch with envy. The magazine's New York office suite should be manic - there's deadlines to finalise, fashion shoots to organise and designer collections to be evaluated - BUT, all is not well at Brevada. Apart from the usual office in-fighting, there's talk of a hostile take-over bid and now news that Brevada's charismatic CEO has been found murdered. Can the magazine survive the ensuing chaos?


One of you working at Brevada must have done the deed. But who and why? You may all have had your motive... By the end of your game, the murderer will be revealed.
