Some did it for money, some did it to get the feel for fame, and some just went for a free summer holiday, but they never really suspected anything was going to go wrong. It isn't until the ten guests hear accusations of crimes that they committed on a mysterious recording and see an old nursery rhyme about different ways you can die that they realize what their fate will soon be.
