Don’t Miss Out on the Fun!!
How It Works As the guests arrive, some will be asked to play a character, complete with a name, occupation, and motive for murder. You’ll be encouraged to mingle and become familiar with everyone’s new names and identities. When everyone has arrived, you’ll be seated for the first act. As the show progresses, you’ll meet all of the characters the professional actors portray, and some of the main characters in the audience. Once the murder is revealed, the actors unearth a nest of clues, and, with the help of the guests, begin to work at finding a solution. By the third act, the audience is encouraged to question the actors, with the hopes of discovering who dunnit.
