Blockbuster Release is on the catastrophic side, even for a game likeThe Rise of the Golden Idol, where murder and crime are common sights. This chapter has you working out what happened at a drive-in theatre, usually a quaint, exciting, and joyful place, instead turned into a nightmare of life-changing proportions.

As always, you have a big stack of identities to work out, and the events you untangle will neatly fit into the complex Golden Idol mythos. So get your detective cap on and start picking up words and tugging at the knot that is this mystery.
