Killer Round-Up:

A Rodeo Ruckus Mystery Night!

Setting: The Bucking Bronco Bash is the ultimate fusion of tradition and thrill, set amidst the rustic charm of an expansive barn turned party venue. Wooden beams overhead are adorned with fairy lights, casting a soft glow on the worn-out wooden floor. On one end, a mechanical bull whirs to life intermittently, challenging party-goers. A stage opposite hosts Lola "Lariat" Lane, whose melodies waft through the air, occasionally drowned by the chatter, laughter, and clinks of glasses. The scent of BBQ mingles with the aroma of fresh hay bales strategically placed as seating. In shadowy corners, hushed whispers merge with the sounds of fiddles and guitars, creating an atmosphere both celebratory and suspicious.

Plot:
The Bucking Bronco Bash, the most anticipated rodeo afterparty of the year, is in full swing. However, this year, it’s not just the bulls that are steaming. Rumor has it that the Rodeo's grand prize money has gone missing, and the Golden Lasso Trophy, the most prestigious accolade in the rodeo circuit, has a surprising contender.

Questionable Characters:

• Daisy "Dynamite" Dillinger - The firecracker cowgirl and famed trick rider. Known for her short fuse, did someone light it tonight?
• Whispering Wendy - The rodeo's horse whisperer who seems to know more about the attendees than anyone else. But does she also whisper secrets?
• Calvin "Cactus" Callahan - The cattle rustler turned event security. He's got a dark past and a sharper edge. Did he find another reason to draw his weapon?
• Lola "Lariat" Lane - The rodeo singer with a voice that could tame the wildest stallion. Her recent ballad hints at a love triangle. Was her next song going to be a murder ballad?

Conflicts You Should Know About:

• Bobby "Bullseye" Brookes, the reigning bull-riding champion, feels threatened. For the first time ever, someone has matched his scores. He's suspicious of his competitors and those close to him.
• Lil' Lasso Lucy, a barrel racer with dreams bigger than the barrels she races around, has been dropping hints about a secret that could change everything.
• Chuck “Clownin’ Around” Chukowski, the rodeo clown, has been cracking more than jokes lately. He claims that someone has been tampering with his clown car. Sabotage or just a prank?
