“Cabin #5 went great! We had some experienced murder mystery players and complete newbies, and everyone had a great time! We chose to play the game outside to get into the feel of being at a summer camp, and everyone was super creative with their costumes, which amplified the immersion. We loved the Stranger Things vibes of the game, and there were twists to the story that no one saw coming!”
+ Characters/Suspects (Click to Expand)
Bobby: Forced to attend Camp Silverlake in the late summer to “build character”, Bobby has also struggled in social settings. Highly intelligent and highly superstitious, they tend to get a little nervous at times.
Jo: Moody, broody, and slightly dangerous, Jo is bad to the bone. The Court had hoped summer camp would straighten them out.
Charlie: While Camp Silverlake was not a preferred summer activity instead of a sports scholarship for this jock, Charlie’s impulsive and confident nature brought them back to Cabin #5 after all this time.

Alex: Alex has been attending Camp Silverlake for years, starting as a young scout all the way up to being a counselor assistant. Their adherence to the rules and golden kid status has some calling them a classic teacher’s pet
