Murder Mystery Theater- Death for Dinner
ou’re invited to a dinner party with featured guest motivational speaker, Cliff Worthington. However, Cliffs confident façade seems shaken every time smarmy Jonathan Bosco mentions Cliff’s father.
Enter the beautiful, scheming Tara Lindt. She’s after every man in the room, so why is she so concerned with Jonathan’s activities? Suddenly, we notice the maintenance man, C.J. Hammer.
He should have finished the job of fixing the electrical outlets hours ago, so what is he doing at the party tonight? As C.J. casually chats with dinner guests, there’s one person in the room that he purposely avoids: Susan Snu, the event planner.
Granted, she’s irritating, but there’s more to this hatred than meets the eye. The evening continues, events take a turn and soon you are solving the crime of your life!
This is a two-hour ride that you won’t want to miss! Enjoy appetizers and a cash bar while walking through the mansion’s rooms and talking with characters who give hidden clues as to who could have committed the crime.
Later join with other detectives in the ballroom and try to discover the culprit.
