What does pilot event mean? A pilot event is essentially the first time we are officially running this kind of experience and therefore tickets are at cost because in exchange we ask that everyone stays around to provide their thoughts on the experience so we can improve it for when it launches in full.

Note that all staff at this event will be volunteering to make it at cost.

What is Jubensha? Popularized in China, Jubensha are tight murder mystery stories for a small, select cast of characters with intimate involvement in the event that is central to the investigation and solution.

Each player receives a character who has a backstory, evidence, and details about the crime committed. Every character generally has secrets, and at least one of the players will be responsible for the crime itself.
