After many sold out dinners and a shocking finale last October,  Murder Mysteries Live! will come screaming back to Saturday nights at the Castle starting June 2nd, 2007.  

Murder Mysteries Live!

Murder Mysteries Live! is a combination of Dinner theatre, scavenger hunt and reality game. Unlike many Murder Mystery parties, you will not be given a character to play, nor will we ask you to pretend that it is another time period or setting. You can just be yourself or assume an identity that you will play for the entire evening, it is your choice. If this is your first time, you may want to play it straight and get a good feel of the game. Each Mystery will be different, so tell your friends and come back again and again. Murder Mysteries can be created for private parties of 10-30 people.

Cocktail hour is from 6pm till 7pm. The Cash Bar will be open throughout the evening. This is a good time to do a little exploring and to get some early information on your competitors. Remember, anything could be a clue, anyone in the Castle could be a suspect, so be very alert and don’t trust everything you hear. At 7pm, you will be greeted by your Host and creator of the Castle after Dark series, Rusty Trombley. You will be given history of the Castle and the basics of the game. At this time you will be able to ask any questions that you have, but you will only be given so much to go on. Solving the nights' Mystery will take some keen detective work, imagination, memory, and maybe even some deception to throw off your competition. Greed and dishonesty is fair game. Scenarios, participants, and prizes can and will change at any time.

Please dress to impress because an elegant dining experience begins at 8pm with music, clues, cocktails, and surprises. We offer a selection of dishes to suit any diet and offer complimentary water, tea, and coffee. During dinner, you will be asked to introduce yourself. Tell us what you want us to know about you, things you are proud of, and let casual conversation reveal more. But be careful, what you say may be used against you, even get you accused of Murder, cold blooded, Murder!
After dinner, you will be given an exclusive tour of this mysterious mansion and the secrets that it houses. Pay attention and watch others reactions. You are permitted to “Gently Search” in unlocked closets, drawers, and rooms during the next phase of your evening. At some point, you will be asked for your first impressions and deductions. If you are getting close, we will step the game up a notch, or send you back hunting for clues. The first group or couple to solve the crime will win, and all facts will be revealed. You will be told what you are playing for during dinner. Be inquisitive, creative, and fun. Your participation is a major part of the night, so let a little extra out, and we will too.
