A hotel manager is found murdered at a Las Vegas hotel and the prime suspects are three Elvis-impersonators. Behind the croon, the playback and the wigs, we meet three people who, like Elvis himself, have been bruised by fame and showbiz.

In this drama-comedy, set in Las Vegas in the 2000s, an Officer interrogates three Elvis-impersonators, to learn, who murdered their boss, the hotel-manager Lisa. Through interrogations and flashbacks, the players will learn more about the three impersonators, their complicated relationships with the manipulative Lisa, and their individual reasons why murder might have been the only way out. The game is set around a table, with no planned semi-live elements. Drama comes through the exploration of the three Elvis’ relations to Lisa and their suspicions towards each other, while laughter and comedy-elements may occur during the scenes in which Lisa’s lies and blatant manipulation becomes painfully surreal. The story unfolds the darker sides of fame: How you, despite down-to-earth motivations, can bruise yourself on your ambitions, how your weaknesses can be used against you, and how the price for keeping the hotel afloat is way too high.

Player types:
You like drama, dont mind playing both your main character (an Elvis) and the two side-characters (the Officer and Lisa). You want to tell a story in collaboration with your co-players. The scenario is beginner friendly, but some of the themes may require extra courage. Laugthing is perfectly fine, but know that this is also a serious story. Knowledge about Elvis is not required!
Gamemaster type:
As GM you will be facilitating the pre-game phase, distribute handouts, cut the scenes and handle the music. You are also playing the three side-characters during the Epilogue. You are going to have a blast as game master, if you like watch the players engage with the story, but you will also be able to put your own touch on the scenario.
