It's a Murder Mystery!

It appears there was a murder…

Your group members become the murder mystery characters/actors in an intriguing tale of treachery, deceit and death! Will your group solve the mystery?!

These events are a great time for everyone involved. Guests soon see a new side of the people that they thought they knew, and leave with many memories of bonding with new and old friends, co-workers, or relatives.

Murder Mystery events come with all the ambiance of a bygone era, including:

  • 1897 Queen Anne Victorian house
  • Inviting fireplace in the parlor
  • Period antique décor
  • Oak woodwork
  • Pocket doors
  • Grand staircase
  • Stained and lead glass windows
  • Vintage chandeliers

Themes & Stories

What Will the Plot be for Your Murder Mystery?

Each theme was designed for a certain number of main characters or participants. To accommodate more participants, we can add investigators, witnesses, or distribute administrative duties [a guest(s) read pages with evidence or character introductions].

Perhaps you can’t decide on which theme is best. We can discuss the options with you based on your group. If more than one theme looks good, you could also book your next event with us to solve another themed mystery.

If you do not find the theme that would be best for you, please let us know. We can discuss options based on your group, or we may be able to purchase an additional theme for your group’s needs.

How to Arrange for a Murder Mystery Event

Whether it is a birthday, retirement party, bachelorette night, team building for staff, holiday party, or an anniversary, let us help you with your event! Held in a historical record home with elegant room décor, a table is set with centerpieces matching the chosen theme. Typically the party includes food, which can be reception food, buffet style, plated or potluck.

We do not have a commercial kitchen or a license to handle food other than breakfast, so when you book with us we will work with you regarding a caterer, food delivery, or bringing in your own potluck food. Rates will vary based on your food choices, and whether you wish for us to coordinate the catering. With any choice, we can assist you in selecting creative meal choices that complement the theme you choose. Limited alcoholic beverages are permitted on-site. We believe that the event and site is what makes the occasion special!
