What is this madness?

After a murder mystery party from a kit, I threw with my nearest and dearests in 2018, I decided that while fun and a nice excuse to have a dinner party that I could do better myself. Of course, being myself, I thought that it would be more fun to make it an Escape Room/Murder Mystery/Interactive Theater evening. And by evening, I mean a month's worth of weekends with multiple different groups of people. To say that it has spiraled out of control is perhaps an understatement. 

I have done some basic research into how to do this and I'm generally a fan of making/fabricating things so hopefully it doesn't all go terribly. 

I am after immersion here, so I have this plan more or less in place.
  1. Select a Premise.*
  2. Select a premises.**
  3. Make everything placed into area selected in step 2, fit with theme selected in step 1. 
  4. Success!***
*That will be it's own post. 
**Having someone that loves you that has a fully finished basement they're willing to give up for a month or more that also happens to have a built-in saloon helps immensely. 
***There may be sub steps, some known, some as yet undiscovered.
