Murder Mystery Dinner Party | The Most Wonderful Crime of The Year
Murder Mystery Dinner Party | Saturday, November 14 Silver bells are ringing at this seasonal standup performance, but the jolly jokester gets upstaged by an event far worse than bad holiday comedy: a murder! With humbug hovering over the holiday, it is up to the unamused audience to unravel the mystery of whodunnit like last year’s tacky knitted holiday sweater. While murder is making the night not-so-merry-and-bright, you must gather information, bribe your guests for clues, and solve the crime before this comedy act becomes a tragedy! The party includes appetizers, dinner, dessert, and a night full of unforgettable entertainment. Tickets are $49.99 per person includes four-course dinner and an interactive show. Rated adults, no restrictions. Tickets purchased online in advance. 20% gratuity included. Call 800-462-9477 to reserve your spot!
