A seasonal, cost-absent interactive event centers around a simulated crime, typically occurring on or near October 31st. Participants assume roles and work to uncover the perpetrator through clues and interactions, without incurring any expense for materials or participation. An example includes downloadable character sheets and a script available online for public use, enabling a group to enact a whodunit scenario at no cost.
Accessibility to such events fosters community engagement and provides entertainment for diverse groups, circumventing financial barriers. Historically, the accessibility of free entertainment has contributed to the widespread adoption of celebratory practices, promoting inclusivity and broad participation during a specific period.
