We present to you a battle of truth and lies unfolding before your very eyes. Come experience the world of murder mystery as it unfolds on both television and stage. ◆”Murder Mystery Showcase – Testimony of Five People” Murder Mystery is a mystery game in which players become characters in a story and search for the culprit behind the crimes that occur within it. The best part is being able to immerse yourself in the role of the characters and solve the mystery. This is an original murder mystery project played by actors who make a living by playing characters. Five actors, dressed as characters, engage in a “live mystery” where intentions and emotions collide as they search for the culprit, conceal a secret, and uncover the truth. Once performed, it can never be performed again; in that moment, we deliver a unique story that can only be born from these five people. Image
