About the game
It’s a party to die for! It’s the dead of winter, and Arkham’s social elite have arrived in mist-shrouded Kingsport for an exquisite gala hosted by the enigmatic Lantern Club. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long before nightmarish creatures crash the festivities, and it falls to you to uncover the Club’s dark schemes before Arkham’s most powerful leaders all meet a terrible fate! In The Midwinter Gala, one to four investigators ally with a faction of their choice and work together to claim the powerful relic at the center of the Lantern Club’s nefarious plot. The scenario can be played on its own or inserted into any campaign as a side-story, and it can also be played semi-competitively between multiple teams of investigators! —description from the publisher
