About the Event

Something deadly is coming to The Pink Elephant
After a SOLD-OUT debut, Murders Inc returns to Salem on Fat Tuesday, February 17th with an immersive Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball where glamour, secrets, and betrayal collide.
Murders Inc

With over 25,000 parties sold worldwide and thousands of 5 star reviews, Murders Inc – in collaboration with Salem Haunt Club and Ghosts of the Grand – is bringing Salem a party to die for. This isn’t your typical M**der mystery dinner where you sit back and watch actors tell the story. This is a fully interactive experience where every guest is assigned a character the moment they arrive. You might be one of the victims. You might be the murderer. And you won’t know until the story starts unfolding around you.

You’ll uncover secrets, trade information, mingle with suspicious strangers, examine evidence, make accusations and maybe even meet your own dramatic end. No two players have the same experience, and no two parties ever play out the same way.


Tickets Include:

  • A fully immersive Mardi Gras Masquerade Whodunnit
  • Your character card - complete with a biography, things to share, secrets to hide, important relationships, and "make a scene" options
  • Charcuterie Board
  • A drink ticket good for a well drink or beer on tap
  • Access to a themed photobooth to capture the chaos

Dress to K*ll:
Masks are strongly encouraged. Think opulent masquerade glamour, rich jewel tones, feathered masks, dramatic makeup, sleek suits, and bold, theatrical flair. Select characters may receive special props upon arrival.

A Friendly Competition. Prizes will be awarded for:

  • Closest Guess
  • Best Acted Out Death
  • Most In Character

Additional Details:

  • Doors open at 6 PM, story begins promptly at 6:30 PM
  • The parties can run between 90 - 120 minutes depending on group size and flow
  • This is a 21+ event with ID required
  • No acting experience needed; participate at your own comfort level
  • Limited to 40 guests for an intimate and lively story experience
  • Tickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to another guest
  • Parking available in the Pink Elephant lot
  • Check in at the main entrance; a staff member will guide you to the event space
  • The venue is ADA accessible; contact us if you have accessibility needs so we can tailor your role accordingly
  • Groups are welcome; while character roles are randomized, you will still play together throughout the story.
  • Tickets are nonrefundable but may be transferred to another person if needed.

Once the mystery starts, there’s no turning back.

Join us… if you’re brave enough.
