Murder Mystery Party

​The tech scene’s been giving LinkedIn core lately, name tags, panels, and people pretending they’re “so excited to connect.”
Nah. We’re over it.

​This is not a networking mixer. It’s a full-blown psychological experiment disguised as a Halloween party.
One of you is infected. If the group doesn’t find them in two hours… everyone dies. 🧪

​We’re locking 60 founders, researchers, and operators in a house together and watching the chaos unfold.
You’ll lie. You’ll accuse. You’ll trust the wrong people.

​Gameplay:
You arrive. You get a secret role card. Someone’s infected.
They’ll try to act normal, drop subtle hints, maybe flirt their way out of suspicion.
Clues are hidden in cocktails, conversations, music transitions, and your moral compass.
If you don’t figure it out in time? Boom. Everyone “dies.”

​Food & Drinks:
🍸 Custom cocktails by Basbas and Sanket Mittal
🍽️ Persian buffet by Chef Farnam

​Music Progression:
DJ Mkayy (vinyl chaos), Ian Crosby (house-pop serotonin), and Neil Mitra (German techno menace).

​Purpose:
To end small talk.
To force collaboration under existential threat.
To find out who in this city you’d actually trust when the servers crash and the outbreak hits.

​At the end of the night, you won’t just know who’s building the next tech unicorn, you’ll know who hid the body.

​Dress Code:

​🎭 Halloween. You cannot dress as yourself.
Be a villain. Be a simulation. Be your final form.
No tech bro minimalism. No Patagonia vests.

​If you show up as “a founder,” you’re already dead.

​🚫 Important: There is no parking.
I repeat: NO PARKING.
If you plan on surviving the night, take an Uber, Lyft, or teleport.

​This party is brought to you by Launch Academy, GetFresh Ventures, and Vantec.
