SEQUIM — The Seventh Annual “Whodunnit Downtown? — The Case of the Disco Trophy Hustle” Mystery Game will be featured during the upcoming First Friday Art Walk.
The art walk will be from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Game cards can be picked up at participating venues at 5 p.m. Once filled out, each card can be entered at “Whodunnit Headquarters” at Cedarbrook Lavender Farm Gift Shop at 120 W. Washington St. At 7:30 p.m., cards will be drawn at random.
The first game card with the correct answer will win prizes donated by Sequim individuals and local businesses.
Participants must be 21 or older. It is not necessary to be present to win.
Organizer Renne Emiko Brock describes the game as follows:
“The story is set on New Year’s Eve 1977, when the polarizing fever of disco and ‘Star Wars’ has gripped the nation and created division among friends and families.
“Opposing perspectives of rebellion to oppression and rogue, footloose behavior boil over during the Moonrise Club Disco Dance Tournament, hosted by club owner Ms. Quinny Quartz.
“Steeped in competition, the dancers take to the checkerboard floor to battle for the mirror ball trophy while the anti-dancing crusaders clash to end the wicked disco fever.
“What syncopated force disrupted the infectious choreography as the large cash prize vanished along with the trophy? Force users, dancers, contradiction and conflict hits the streets of Sequim as the search is on to shed luminescent light on the criminal who swiped the contest prize. Can you solve the mystery?”
Brock invites visitors to strut down the sidewalk to “Staying Alive” while visiting Sequim First Friday Art Walk venues, mingle with the suspects and discover who might have stolen the Moonrise Club’s Mirror Ball Dance Trophy and why.
She encouraged participants to dress in the art walk’s theme colors of silver, black and white, as well as in ‘70s era attire, disco duds and “Star Wars”-motivated costumes.
