We have not reopened Murder Mystery Dinner events in 2021 due to the pandemic. As of 3/1/2021 restrictions on indoor events would prevent us from having room for enough guests. The nature of our events would make spreading the virus very easy as well and we can not take that risk. We are considering a fall season and if not then we hope to be back in the full swing starting January 2022. Thank you.
2020 Murder Mystery Dinners
The Schedule
Who Shot the Sheriff
It is the spring of 1869. America’s west coast is slowly being populated with small towns full of settlers. They have come to prospect for precious metals, set up ranches and run dubious saloons! Several stagecoaches set out on a three-day trip across part of the Old West to San Francisco. They stop at a dusty town just getting off the ground named Cactus Gulch. It doesn't take long to see the Sheriff is up to no good, how long until he gets himself shot?
The MC of our murder mystery will be Pauline Jarvie, who, when she isn't hosting a murder mystery, is owner of York Music Therapy LLC.

Murder at the Bloody Beak Tavern
Game of Thrones and Tolkien fans, this is your story. Renaissance Faire fans, wear your best costumes! The story of a medieval fantasy adventure often begins in a tavern. This evening the story ends in the tavern with the murder of the renown minstrel Falvon Sand, Bard of the Ice Flute. The famed Ice Flute is also missing. The tavern is full of rogues, knights, rangers, some dwarves, elves, and perhaps a wizard or two but no healers. Can the assembled heroes find the assassin that took down one of the greatest adventurers of the age?.

Murder at the 4 Dueces Redux part 2
Join us once again at our favorite 1920's Chicago speakeasy - The 4 Dueces. This time things have changed. Last year Cassandra Steal, stole the show. She outmaneuvered the entire "Family". Now she has them under her thumb, will there be a revolt? This is a redux of the second Murder at the 4 Dueces story with Cassandra Steal as the main character. If you attended a 4 Dueces event before, the characters will be similar but we encourage you to join us again because the outcome and murder(s) will be different.

Way Out West
It is the spring of 1884. America’s west coast is slowly being populated with small towns full of settlers, come to prospect for precious metals, set up ranches and run dubious saloons – and now the railroad is coming! Cactus Gulch is one such small town, founded 15 years ago and tonight it has a festive air as the townsfolk get set to start their 20th anniversary celebrations. However, all is not running smoothly. Land disputes, disreputable card games, strange folk from out of town and hostile Native Americans all add to a tense atmosphere.
