A Villain's Vandetta: Murder Mystery

FAQs

• What is a murder mystery night?

  A murder mystery night is an interactive experience where guests become part of the story! You’ll receive a character, uncover clues, interact with other guests, and work together (or against each other 😉) to solve the crime before the night ends.

• Do I have to act or be good at improv?

  Not at all! You do not need acting experience. Characters are designed to give you guidance, but how much you participate is completely up to you. Whether you want to fully embrace your villainous role or simply enjoy watching the mystery unfold, there’s a place for everyone.

• Will I get a character before the event?

  Yes! After purchasing your ticket, you’ll receive instructions on your assigned character and any details you’ll need before arriving no later than Oct 1. Come ready to step into your role and embrace your villainous side!

• Do I need to come with a group?

  Nope! Solo detectives are welcome! You’ll have plenty of opportunities to interact with other guests throughout the evening. If you’d like to sit with friends or ensure you’re part of the same mystery group, we recommend purchasing tickets together.

• What should I wear? Do I have to dress up?

  Costumes are highly encouraged! Dress as your favorite villain, a mysterious character, or simply come ready for a night of intrigue. The more you get into the theme, the more fun the experience will be! Costumes are encouraged but never required. A black outfit, dramatic accessories, a little makeup, or even just your best “suspicious look” is enough to join the fun.
