Teen Mystery Party: Factions

TICKETS AVAILABLE BEGINNING FEBRUARY 17, 2025

This event is for teens ages 13-18

An official Doomsday announcement was made by NASA scientists that an unexpected group of asteroids will strike Earth in only ten days, leading to mass devastation around the globe. Top astrophysicists have exhausted all efforts to prevent the collisions, and the outlook for the planet is quite grim.

The Vampire, Dragon, and Werewolf Factions have formally announced their existence to the humans and have arranged a meeting to form an alliance and strategize against this cluster of cosmic boulders to save the world.

They believe with their combined skills, they will be able to ban together and stop this catastrophe in the nick of time. That is, if this unprecedented gathering goes well.

The Factions have agreed to meet at the former house of horrors of New Orleans, Louisiana—Dauphine Place, a legendary residence of the French Quarter. This will be the first time in history that supernatural beings have met with the humans. Will the alliance save the world, or start the apocalypse early?

This is where your story begins.

Character assignments will be sent beginning March 12th. This will include a description of your character so that you can plan out a look. When you arrive at the library on the day of the event you must be in character and stay in character until the event is over. You will be given a script to read from so you don't need to come up with anything to say.

You will be able to choose a faction preference when you register but there is no guarantee that you will get that type of character but I will do my best.

The event will be broken into 3 parts - a meet and greet, a luncheon and finally dessert. You will spread disinformation, gather facts and try to solve the mystery.

Prizes will be awarded for best costume, best character portrayal and correct whodunit solution. Please be creative with your costume but you do not need to spend money on your look. Use homemade props (even made out of paper), old Halloween costumes and raid your closets!
