Step into the 1950s for an evening of mystery, mayhem, and murder!
A crime has been committed at The ARC, and we need detectives to solve it! Interview suspects, separate fact from fiction, and uncover who did it, what they used, and why.
Play your way! Come as a group and team up with your fellow detectives, or fly solo and put your own sleuthing skills to the test. WE will provide you with some starter questions, but don’t be afraid to go off script and ask your own!
Prizes will be awarded to our best sleuths, so bring your detective A-game!
