Bavarian Inn Restaurant presents: The Macabre Masquerade October 24, 2025

Welcome back to the world of "The Family" - An ancient organized criminal syndicate that rules the globe from the shadows, and whose origins are rooted in the vampiric folklore of the old world of Romania...

This live interactive M**der mystery experience is set in modern-day London, England. You are a member of The Family, having been cordially invited to a grand masquerade celebration for the Blood Queen’s 75th birthday. The invitation comes directly from the Blood Queen of London herself, Matriarch Ambrosia Alighieri of House Arabesque. You may not disobey the orders of your Blood Queen so you have no choice but to attend. Which Family allegiance will you represent? The noble, artistic, and passionate Arabesque? The practical, wealthy, and traditional Cel Tradat? Or are you one of those criminal exiles from the disturbed and banished Maleficore?

On the morning of the masquerade, Harrison Brunswick Jr. – Media Manager for the Blood Queen’s coterie – is informed of the death of Piper LaPorta, an investigative reporter who has been revealing secrets about The Family. There is clearly a mole leaking information from within the coterie, and if they aren't caught then those higher up in the Family will eradicate the Blood Queen and all of her coterie... including you.

To make matters worse, the dead reporter had connections to a violent gang known as the Brotherhood of the Wolf. Little is known about them, but rumors say their bite is worse than their bark. Will you shine a light on the truth skulking in the dark streets of London? Will those lurking in the shadows take the Blood Queen’s throne? Join us for an unforgettable evening of intrigue, mystery, and M**der where the fate of London hangs in the balance, and only the most brilliant minds will emerge victorious!

There will be masquerade masks provided but if you have a masquerade mask you wish to wear, feel free to do so!
