Interactive Mystery Series Foul Play Announced For April Launch
Foul Play will be bringing you an interactive mystery series this month, featuring a number of people you may recognize.
TBD Theatricals has revealed an all-new interactive mystery series is on the way this month, as Foul Play will launch on April 21st. Partially a video game, partially video entertainment, and partially a murder mystery, the company has put together five episodes by award-winning actors and producers Andrew Barth Feldman ("No Hard Feelings," Dear Evan Hansen, Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical), Tony Winner Alex Boniello ("Disney's Descendants: The Rise of Red," Dear Evan Hansen, Hadestown), and Matthew Barth Tinkelman. This will be a five-part whodunit series with a new episode coming out every Friday, with an interactive twist as you'll attempt to solve the mystery in each episode, anchored by a cast of characters from multiple films and TV shows. We have more info on the series below before it kicks off in a few weeks.
With one of the largest, most diverse casts in digital programming, Foul Play brings fan-favorites across television, film, gaming, comedy, and Broadway altogether in an improvised comedy for the ages including Gaten Matarazzo ("Stranger Things," Sweeney Todd), Michael Urie ("Shrinking," "Ugly Betty"), Ryan Haddad ("The Politician," Dark Disabled Stories), Rob McClure (Mrs. Doubtfire, "Julia"), Erica Hernandez ("True Lies," "Bridge and Tunnel"), Will Roland (Dear Evan Hansen, Be More Chill, "Billions"), Celia Rose Gooding (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Jagged Little Pill), Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice, School of Rock), and many more! Additionally, Foul Play features writing contributions from tabletop legends and Upright Citizen's Brigade veterans Brennan Lee Mulligan (Dimension 20, Exandria Unlimited: Calamity), B. Dave Walters (Dungeons & Dragons: A Darkened Wish, Shadow of the Red Rage), and Arti Gollapudi (Upright Citizens' Brigade, The Squirrel).
When the case begins, all of the suspects will be together in one room just minutes before a murder is about to occur. Once they disperse, Foul Play becomes an interactive game, giving the viewer full access to surveillance cameras in four rooms, each with three different camera views, allowing them to click around, follow different suspects, listen to conversations, and collect clues. Foul Play is loosely improvised and every sneaky conversation is happening in real time, so the viewer is encouraged to stay eagle eyed and follow the story threads that are the most suspicious. Or, they can just click around and follow their favorite character – it's totally up to them!
