Ancient Rome Senate
Daggers in the forum
Plot:
Rome, 63 BCE. As senators and officials gather for a crucial midnight vote, Senator Lucius Varro is found murdered beneath the shadowed arches of the Forum. Beside him lie a cracked debt token, scattered counting pieces, and a damaged wax tablet containing a dangerous unfinished accusation.
With political rivalries, secret debts, forged grain orders, and the fate of hundreds of Roman citizens at stake, every guest has something to hide. Can your group uncover the truth and identify the killer before the Senate convenes?

What Hosts Are Saying
Reviews from Real Detectives
"The Greed & Gouda kit turned our ordinary Saturday dinner into a full-blown Wall Street whodunit. The host script was fool-proof — even for first-timers. Our guests are already begging for the next game night!"
"I needed a fresh idea for our remote team social. The mystery kept 24 coworkers laughing and collaborating for two solid hours. HR is making this a standing tradition."
"We ran the mystery for my daughter's birthday on Zoom. The story was clean, the clues were challenging, and setup took less than an hour. Parents messaged me asking where to buy their own kit."
"I've purchased mystery kits from three other sites. None matched the polish of Capital of Mystery. Instant downloads, gorgeous PDFs, and clear Host vs. Player sections — zero spoilers. Five stars."
"We hosted the 1920s Speakeasy game for a birthday dinner and everyone stayed in character longer than expected. The evidence cards made the night feel organized but still gave everyone room to improvise."
"The game worked perfectly for our group of 18. I loved that the instructions were clear, the roles felt balanced, and even quieter guests had useful secrets and clues to share."
"I was nervous about hosting for the first time, but the host guide made it easy. We printed everything the same afternoon and played that night. The final reveal got a huge reaction."
