If you're hosting a larger crowd, add from the cast of additional characters who blend into the story, bringing even more layers of suspicion, hidden motives, and juicy gossip. These extra players aren’t just fillers—they’re suspects with their own secrets, expanding the mystery and keeping the drama alive for groups of all sizes!

Sample Character Background
Clarissa “Crash” Ramsey
The Political Consultant
Character Backstory: You’re D.C.’s chaos queen. Forget fixing problems—you’re causing them, then swooping in to save the day for a hefty fee. Sam Blake hired you for your crisis expertise, but let’s say the last disaster you engineered got a little out of hand, even for you. When you realized Blake was about to throw you under the proverbial bus (which, ironically, you probably orchestrated), you decided it was time for the ultimate damage control. Spoiler alert: It involved making sure Blake couldn’t speak.
Secret: You thrive on causing chaos and then profiting by cleaning it up. Sam Blake hired you to handle a crisis you engineered, but things went too far, and he was about to throw you under the bus. You intended to stop him permanently, but someone else got there first. Who beat you to the punch, and what can you gain from Sam’s untimely death? This might be your opportunity to spin the chaos in your favor without getting your hands dirty.
Personality Tips: Sharp-tongued, quick-witted, and always ready to start a fire so that you can be the hero who puts it out. You thrive on drama; nothing makes you happier than watching others squirm.
Costume & Accessories: A sharp blazer, high heels that say “I’m in charge,” and a designer bag stuffed with a laptop (and probably some skeletons). You’re always ready to “solve” a crisis you probably caused.
