A
normal night at Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella turned dark and wicked when the Sigonella Community & Spouse Club (SCSC) hosted a Murder/ Mystery Costume Party Oct. 5, in the Chart Room on NAS I. The event was the third of its kind. According to SCSC President Krista Martinez, the event has grown since it began almost two years ago. More than 30 people participated in the event, including the SCSC members who acted as suspects. “We changed it up a little bit from what a normal live action murder/mystery does where they have more people interacting in scenes," said Martinez.
"What we do is interact with the people.” The event began with dinner, giving attendees the opportunity to mingle. During dinner, a scream alerted guests that a "murder" had occurred at which time everyone was instructed to open their clue bag, which provided the story of the "victim" and clues to how his body was discovered. Participants were also offered a clue book to keep notes on what the suspects told them about their whereabouts during the murder as well as past relationships with the victim and other suspects. "It’s up to [the guests] to figure out what direction to take and what questions to ask the suspects,” said Martinez.
Once the investigation part of the night ended, guests wrote down their suspect and submitted their accusation. “Everybody really got to get into it," Martinez said. "The characters were having fun making up stuff as well as going off of what they had; ad-libbing was great!” Participants that guessed correctly won prizes, which included certificates for personal training and massage sessions. Once the winners claimed their prizes, the remaining items were raffled off. The SCSC holds a Murder/ Mystery event twice a year. Future events planned by the SCSC include a Holiday Gift Fair in November and Breakfast with

We want to give back to the community and still have a great time!” THE SIGONELLA COMMUNITY & SPOUSE CLUB (SCSC) IS A NON-FEDERAL ENTITY.
