Under the Big Top
Under the Big Top is an interactive murder mystery party for 10-15 guests (plus one host) published by Freeform Games.
It's 1952 and Bo Bennett's Big Top Bonanza has reached Sarasota, Florida for their final show. With a successful nine month tour behind them, the performers and staff of the Bonanza are making plans for a restful and rewarding off-season. There's just time for one last party...

Under the Big Top is an interactive murder mystery game - much like Freeform Games' other games such as Hollywood Lies and A Dead Man's Chest. Under the Big Top also shares many of the same features - it has the item cards and the ability cards that those games have. (Item cards are used to represent all sorts of things - from jewels and paintings to a bloodied juggling pin... Ability cards, on the other hand, allow the characters to detect secrets find out information about other people.)
Under the Big Top has a number of different plots to keep everyone busy. For example, there is the mystery of the stolen paintings, the missing jewels, INS problems, new circuses to form - and of course a murder to solve.
The cast of Under the Big Top includes:- Bo Bennett: Owner and ringmaster.
- Marvin Mancuso: High wire performer and juggler.
- Burt Butler: Lion tamer.
- Dana West: Floppsy the Clown.
- The Korchencko Brothers: Trapeze artists.
- Stella Sue: Fire-eater.
- Quinn Bones: The human pincushion.
- Roxanne Bones: The Blind Seer.
- Lt. Morgan Caine: Sarasota Police detective.
- And more...
Under the Big Top needs a dedicated host, someone to organise the game. I really enjoy being the host - you know what's going on and can watch your friends scheme and plot and be devious to one another.
