Tween Mystery Party: Once Upon a M**der Mystery

TICKETS AVAILABLE BEGINNING FEBRUARY 17, 2025

This event is for tweens ages 9-12

Once upon a time, there was a faraway land called the Enchanted Realm. The people of the land got along harmoniously for many centuries...that is, until Queen Black gained control of the Silver Tree Forest.

It was not long before happy endings turned into nightmares, as the ruling Kingdom of Gullyshire suffered repeated attacks, and the villains began to gain control. The mystic mountains filled with nefarious monsters and were no longer safe, and wicked witches took over the charmed forest.

Queen Black has shocked the realm and has invited all of the territories to the Dark Castle of the Silver Tree Forest to sign a peace treaty.

She may have evil intentions.

Nonetheless, you have been invited by Queen Black. 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.

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!
