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. At the end, you will submit what you think is the solution to the night's mystery and all facts we be revealed. Be inquisitive, creative and mysterious. It is likely that one of you is the culprit or at least a co-conspirator. Your participation is a major part of the night, so let a little extra out, and we will too.

Murder Mysteries live! is a combination of Dinner theater, 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 14-30 people, with a minimum of 14 to book a private one. We can taylor parties for any age but generally, we prefer 18 and up.
Cocktail hour 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 a 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 night's 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 rewards can and will change at any time.
