This evening experience includes a delectable five course grazing menu served throughout the Kearney Mansion and filled with savory and sweet delights. You will also be treated to a special welcoming concoction to sharpen all your senses which you will need as you interview suspects, find clues and work to solve a murder. Additional libations are available for purchase on-site. Ticket also includes unlimited non-alcoholic beverages.

 

Doors open at 6:00 PM sharp for all evening performances. Please arrive promptly to avoid missing an important clue - or becoming a victim yourself. As you know…. murder waits for no one!

 

The themes of this event are not considered appropriate for children under ten.

 

This year our mystery will take place in 1931.  As you step into the past at Kearney Mansion, you could be forgiven for thinking the Great Depression was already over.

Ben Carrie-Deway, one of the nouveau riche, and owner of the Mansion is well known for hosting lavish soirees, and tonight was no exception. With exquisite food and lavish surroundings the evening was passing pleasantly and uneventfully, at least it was until he was discovered dead in his study.  

You have been invited to his most popular party of the year.  Be sure to dress the part, cocktail dresses, feather boas and top hats are encouraged, although not required. 

Now all the guests are suspects and it’s up to the you to solve the crime!

All persons and events presented during the evening are fictional, the event is not intended present historic events. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is completely coincidental.
