Murder on the International Space Station

Overview

Like playing your favourite (or not) childhood game Cluedo, but IRL, Murder on the International Space Station is a detective game set inside the Carter Observatory.

Hosted by the improvisation troupe, Best on Tap, the night involves exploring the whole Observatory, planetarium and historic telescopes; while putting on your best Sherlock Holmes impersonations, rubbing your chin, and 'finding' clues about the murderer.

For your convenience, the suspect list, as quoted from the Carter Observatory site, is attached below:

"Ariane Puissant is Head of Puissant Industries and Captain of the ‘Solar Flare’. She grew up in a small farming village in the South of France. Puissant Industries is a world leader in space travel.

Dr Astrid Leech is a medical school graduate and was chosen out of thousands of applicants for the position as Doctor on the space station. She feels it’s her duty to not only look after her colleagues but most importantly help them cope with the extreme circumstances of space.

Burro' Sanchez Gonzalez is husband to Ariane Puissant and the chirpy purser aboard the space station - he likes to think he puts the 'Flare' in Solar Flare.

Dr Vladamir Pierce is a Researcher who needs space, a slightly awkward member of team ‘Solar Flare’ (he hates the name). He is very scholarly, but can be the life blood of the party. He likes practical jokes, but often gets under peoples’ skin.

"Max the Engineer." Although the Captain doesn’t know it, Max is the baby she gave up 25 years ago, who has now tracked down his estranged mother and secured a place on her space station. Is Max’s CV accurate: a highly trained, passionate engineer? Or is this bright spark actually a fraud?

Susan Thorne is the Public Relations Manager for Puissant Industries and in charge of media relations for this maiden voyage of the good ship Solar Flare. Susan is a no-nonsense business woman with a keen eye for detail and a love of order."

Let's split up and look for clues.

P.S. Wine and canapés will be served throughout the night.
