About this Event
Gather round, ye gentles – I’ll unfold
The scene of England, in those days of old
When Good Queen Bess unto the throne did come,
And Albion’s state so nearly was undone
Welcome to the Court of St James’s Palace, London, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
All present have but lately arrived from the Royal premier of Master Shakespeare’s latest rib-tickling comedy, Two Ladies of Venice.
Now, the Queen makes merry and entertains her courtiers, guests, would-be hus-bands and envoys from foreign powers with a sumptuous banquet.
But while all prepare to feast and frolic, dark clouds gather, the sound of war-drums is heard in the distance—and that dear old man the Archbishop of Canterbury, who surely had never an enemy in the world, is found brutally murdered… Welcome to Court in the Act!

Join us in Goblin Market’s Art & Community Space for a night of royal secrets and scandal.
Characters include Queen Elizabeth, Mary Queen of Scots, Sir Francis Drake, John Dee, William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, and more. You’ll receive your character in advance so you can plan your costume. On the night of the game, you’ll get more background, character goals, simple rules, and a few helpful abilities to help you find the killer -- or cover your tracks.
We'll provide a courtly spread of finger foods and a photo station to capture your Elizabethan looks.

See our for M**der mysteries, immersive theater, live action RPGs, and more immersive experiences.
