It is the 1950's. America is in the grip of the cold war and atomic bomb research and manufacture is top of every nation's agenda.

In Los Alamos National Laboratory a team of specialists are taking “The Bomb”� to new levels and are in the process of creating the most dangerous weapon known to man ”“ a Super-doomsday weapon known amongst the team only as “The Device”�.

At long last the blueprints for “The Device”� are in the final stages and the project is nearing it's goal. In celebration of this fact the director's wife, Mrs Van Der Boom decides to host an informal soiree at their home.

The party is in full swing and the evening is passing pleasantly enough until, horror of all horrors, the blueprints are found to be missing from Dr Van Der Boom's study.

Obviously the loss of the blueprints is a catastrophe and the blueprints must be found before they reach enemy hands. The question is: who stole them?

The FBI have been called in and the partygoers are all now suspects in this most difficult case.

The Atomic Bombshell is a Murderless whodunnit set in the 1950's.

Never run a large group mystery before? Then don't panic!

Hosting a Large Group Murder Mystery is time consuming, but with ample preparation and a good cast it is really quite simple and great fun!

In large group games it is impossible to give everyone a part, instead the mystery involves “cast members”� who are fully in the know and act out the mystery, and the guests act as detectives trying to solve the murder.

Large group games come in several different formats, clue based, cast based, multi-room, single room, or a mixture of them all.

This particular game requires 7-13 cast, and one large room. It also has an option of a series of paper clues. Guests will also need paper and pens. This game works best as a sit down event with 6-12 tables of guests who work as a team, but the game can be adapted to suit most formats of events.

The game contains two options. Option 1: All clues are provided by cast members. Option 2: Guests receive questions to ask the suspects (cast members) on paper, and have to find out the answers to these questions from the cast.
