Join our Teen Murder Mystery after-hours event! Free and open to ages 13-18.
Gladstone High class of 1987 has gathered for their prom, and what a night it will be! The hair is big, the dresses are puffy and the social hierarchy is the stuff John Hughes movies are made of.
The big moment of the night – the announcement of the prom king and queen, is at hand, but the nominees for prom king are no where to be found! Shortly after the big announcement, one of the nominees, jock Scott Mahoney is found dead in the boys locker room, having his head flushed in the toilet until he drowned!
This bully had plenty of enemies, but which one of them killed him? Test your deductive reasoning during this murder mystery investigation as you search to find the suspect who had the motive, means and opportunity to commit the Murder at the 1980s Prom!
(This eighties mystery party is a 4/5 on the Angel Rating Scale. While it does contain a murder plot, there are no mentions of drugs, sex or alcohol, and is suitable for most attendees.)
For Grades 7-12.
Doors open and pizza is served at 6:30 p.m. The event starts at 7:00 p.m. and lasts until approximately 8:30 p.m.
