Teen Murder Mystery April 9th at 3:30

March 6, 2024

You are one of a group of tourists gathered for a haunted house ghost tour. The Tour Guide leads you up the dim creaking staircase and turns you loose to explore the upper floor. A scream is heard and a heavy weight tumbles down the stairs. When the Security Guard turns on the lights, you can see the lifeless body of the Tour Guide sprawled on the lower landing.

Somebody has pushed her—but who? And why?

Registration Required. Ages 11-18 welcome.
