Halloween Murder Mystery Mixer

**\*GET TICKETS AT -** (\*Limited # save $5 by using discount code "5" at checkout.) *\*Ignore any references if you RSVP and it says you can pay organizer directly. This is a Meetup glitch they hopefully fix. This is a prepay event and only way to attend is to get ticket in advance at link above.* *\*\*Our events are co-organized by multiple groups so don't pay attention to the RSVPs. These events are consistently well attended. Members get tickets and don't RSVP.* **Our interactive murder mystery nights are a fun and different way to socialize on a Saturday evening! For each of these adventures, everyone at the party plays a role and everyone is a suspect! When you arrive our staff will be on hand to welcome you and give you a character to play in the story. No experience is necessary. It is designed to be fun and not super hard. During the night our host will narrate the chain of events that lead to the murder then it is up to you to solve the case!** **What to expect?** You will be given a character that may be the person who everyone is looking for or you may be the person who solves the mystery. (You will not know right away). Our hosts will set the mood and explain what you need to do which is pretty much relax and enjoy the party with all of the other guests who are playing characters too! **What's the story?** There is rave party in a decaying, haunted mansion that draws a mix of thrill-seekers, influencers, locals, and weirdos. The music’s thumping, the lights are flashing… and then someone dies. The **Blackthorn Mansion has been** abandoned for decades and has a dark history—rumors of occult rituals, disappearances, and a cursed family line. But tonight, it’s the backdrop for an exclusive, invite-only rave. Everyone is masked, mysterious, and hiding something. At the height of the night, just before the DJ drops a new track, a guest collapses—**murdered**. The mansion is on lockdown, and no one leaves until the killer is unmasked. Everyone has a motive. Some even came looking for revenge. FAQs: **Can I come alone?** Yes 90% of those attending will likely register on their own but you are invited to bring as many guests as you would like just register for that amount. **Age-specific?** All are welcome 21 and over. **How much?** $20-$30 depending upon how early you purchase. NOT sold at door. Game limited to 40 people and this sells out quickly.
