In this whodunit, the culprit could very well be you.

A Chelsea performance venue is hosting a bash this September inspired by the campy 1985 film version of the classic board game, "Clue." 

"The Guilty Party" will be the sixth soirée in a "Supercinema" series hosted at the McKittrick Hotel, home to the interactive play "Sleep No More." 

The first was a tribute to Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet." 

"For the September edition of Supercinema, we dive into the surreal and murderously funny universe of 'Clue,'" says a teaser on the McKittrick Hotel website.

The evening of mystery set for Sept. 17, first reported by Time Out New York, will feature dancing, live performances, an open bar and "costumed revelry."

Guests are instructed to dress as one of 14 starring and supporting "Clue" characters, from Colonel Mustard to the cook. 

If you make a "standard reservation" for $95, you'll be locked into a particular role and one of several staggered check-in times. You can arrive on your own schedule and attire yourself as any character you please if you pay for one of two upgrades, both of which grant access to an exclusive bar, and one which also provides table service.

Discounted prices are available if you're willing to show up at midnight or later. 

Looking for a mystery meal, too?

You can save yourself a seat at "Mr. Boddy's Banquet" before the party commences for a three-course, but otherwise enigmatical dinner.
