The Gatsby Gambit (Optional Dress Code: 1920’s)

The jazz age is in full swing.

Across Britain, high society is changing. Grand hotels are replacing traditional country estates as the playgrounds of the rich and influential, where politicians dine beside theatre stars, fortunes are made over champagne, and nobody asks too many questions about where the money came from.

Tonight, one such gathering is taking place under the direction of the mysterious and impossibly wealthy Gatsby.

Guests arrive expecting a lavish evening of fine dining, overflowing champagne, and enough questionable decisions to keep Fleet Street gossip columnists busy for weeks. But as the night unfolds, the atmosphere inside the hotel begins to shift.

Chance encounters feel increasingly deliberate. Certain guests appear deeply unsettled by who else has been invited. Fragments of overheard conversations hint at old secrets and unfinished business, while Gatsby seems far more interested in observing the guests than entertaining them.

At the start of the evening’s celebrations, the party is brought to a sudden stop when one of the guests is found murdered.

As suspicion spreads through the hotel and the glamour of the evening begins to unravel, the guests find themselves trapped in a dangerous game where appearances matter, trust is fleeting, and every conversation may conceal something far darker beneath the surface.
