Something deadly is coming to The Pink Elephant… again.
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 Presents: Murder at the Masquerade
With over 25,000 parties sold worldwide and thousands of five-star reviews, Murders Inc, in collaboration with Salem Haunt Club and Ghosts of the Grand, brings you a night you won’t forget… if you make it through.
This is not your typical murder mystery dinner. There is no stage, no scripted performance, and no passive spectators. Instead, you are the story. The moment you arrive, you are assigned a character - complete with alliances, secrets, and motives. You might be a victim. You might be the murderer. And you won’t know until the mystery unfolds around you.
You’ll mingle with suspicious strangers, trade information, uncover hidden truths, examine evidence, make accusations, and possibly meet your own dramatic end. No two players have the same experience, and no two parties ever play out the same way.
_____

Your Ticket Includes:
• A fully immersive Mardi Gras Masquerade whodunnit
• A detailed character card - featuring a biography, things to share, secrets to hide, key relationships, and “make a scene” prompts
• Access to a curated charcuterie board
• One drink ticket (good for a well drink or beer on tap)
• Access to a themed photo booth to capture the chaos

Dress to K*ll:
