Haunted Island Murder Mystery

It all started because a group of teens wanted to have a party–a wild overnight party that their parents would never know about. A party that one teen didn’t survive. It’s up to you to unravel this murderous plot and discover who the culprit is before they have a chance to finish what they started! 

Sign yourself up for this mystery-solving evening where you will be the detective. See if you have what it takes to solve the crime using your intuition and sleuthing skills. 

Best suited for those 18 and up.
