It’s no mystery – people love to guess “who dunnit!” And, it’s even more fun when the mystery is customized for your group. Did somebody steal the company’s top secrets? Kill the competition? Steal the lollipops from the receptionist’s desk? If you can imagine it, we’ll leave no table unturned as we script a mystery that will intrigue and delight your participants!
The event kicks off with Sheer Luck Holmes, bumbling brother of that other famous sleuth, introducing the premise of the event. Throughout dinner, a series of clues are revealed. Alone, these solutions are meaningless. However, diners are asked to hold onto the clue solutions because ultimately they are used to reveal the guilty party, which is shockingly, someone on your team! Some of the unique ways clues appear include:
At the end of the meal, a final clue is revealed. Diners use all of the solutions they have gathered during dinner to solve the final clue. The first team to solve it – and this is done in a very dramatic way – reveals the guilty party. Sheer Luck Holmes honors this team with award medals and explains the motive for the fiend’s crime, leaving the group with a tasty and satisfying conclusion to dinner and the mystery!
