WHO MURDERED TOMORROW?
A potluck mystery about what could still be possible.
NO ACTUAL MURDERS. BRING A CASSEROLE.
One empty chair. Six suspicious excuses. Three envelopes of actual evidence. A tremendously suspect committee. And one extremely 1999 internet butler with a receipt.
6–12 investigators or one very curious person • 20-minute or 75-minute play • no accounts, tracking or submissions
FIRST: EVERYONE IS INVITED, NOBODY IS DRAFTED
The play promise
This is fiction. Tomorrow is a missing paper place setting, not a person. Play, investigate, watch, eat, or leave. Do not use real people's names or private stories. Food and acting are optional. Actual organizations and neighbors retain the right to say yes, no or not now.

BY ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE
TOMORROW FOUND DEAD!
We regret to announce the termination of Tomorrow, because its place at the supper table is empty. The paperwork appears to be in order.
We are investigating. Dinner may proceed regardless.
— The Management, probably
Detectives: Was Tomorrow actually killed? Who touched the place setting? How did a roomful of people come to believe the announcement?
INTERNET DETECTIVE SERVICES // WHO DID THE THING
Six entirely reliable suspects
Interview anybody you like. Each character has something real to say, even if their theory isn't true. In group play, volunteers can read the roles aloud; nobody has to act.
A PAPER TRAIL HAS BEEN DETECTED
The evidence machine
Read each packet carefully. A stamp proves that somebody stamped something. It does not prove what the stamp says.
THE COURT OF EXCEEDINGLY MINOR MYSTERIES
Deliver your verdict
YOU FOUND THE CHAIR. NOW WHAT?
Invite Tomorrow back (or don't)
This is an optional thought experiment. POSTYMON names an existing kind of capability; REALITY.2 names something that could happen. A pairing is a question, never somebody else's assignment.
✳ A SECRET SECOND ENDING: THE QUESTION KEY
Full Measure's Alchematrix taught us that a key can be constructed from distinct observations, rather than bestowed as a reward. Now that you've solved the case, choose the three clues that jointly establish the unsupported death claim, the actual transfer, and the surviving place setting.
Three independent observations. One new door. No hidden labor assignments.
