Setting the Scene
Join us as we transform the Radisson Hotel Ballroom into an epic Battle of the Bands...
Frito Baggins is in town for a killer concert, but his fans may be looking for a refund after this twisted tour turns tragic with a murder and a mystery to solve. This radical show could be super lame if no one can solve who was buggin' so we can all cool out and get the show started! Help the crowd and the detective figure out who ruined this totally tubular night, so everyone can life, take a chill pill. Make sure you are dressed with the times or someone may ask you to bag your head!
Will I be a suspect?
This year, we've invited some special guests to serve as our suspects, so all you have to do is sit back, take in all of the clues, and crack the case with those around you.
What should I wear?
Come as you are in jeans and a t-shirt; dress like you would for a night on the town; OR, let loose and have a little fun with our 1980s theme...
Grab your most righteous 80's concert gear: jean jackets and spandex leggings, big hair, bangles, and don't forget leg warmers and ripped jeans. These will be all the rage at this rocking night of mystery.
