About the Production:

Trivia Night Murder is an interactive comedy murder mystery that will also feature a trivia game for the audience. The story centers on a bar trivia game competition that turns deadly when one team leader dies during the game. 

There are scripted roles available for the investigators and suspects, as well as some trivia team leader roles that are improv-only and are not involved in the investigation.
