Featured Mysteries (a sampling)

Here are more detailed descriptions of some of our favorite murder mystery events:

Die.com Die
(sponsored by Hornblower Yachts)

Myron Dratsab, the famous .Com magnate has been found murdered aboard a Hornblower yacht and you have been drafted to assist Special Agent Max Sweet iin his less than meticulous investigation.

Join Hornblower Yachts for wonderful dining and a delightful evening on the San Francisco Bay enhanced by fully interactive mayhem. You'll meet Hugo Dratsab's psychic advisor, senior think tank engineer, his gold digging fiance and his nebulous business associate. And if you're lucky you may even meet Billy Bellhop.

Can you solve Special Agent Sweet's mystery before returning to the pier?

Dr. Von Fritters Revenge

The brothers Czerebellum may finally have bitten off more than they can chew! You arrive at the château of Dr. Gustav Von Fritter having been invited to his annual holiday bash, but unfortunately someone was not in the spirit of the holidays and poisoned the not-so-good doctor.

The Von Fritters and the Czerebellums have been feuding over the intellectual properties that each of them claims to own. Now that the good doctor has met an untimely end, Ludvig and Klaus Czerebellum seem to be the prime suspects.

Can you help clear the doctors' good name before they cook their goose? Two Czerebellums in one place at one time may be more than anyone can handle! Hilarious hijinks ensue.

Three Ring Murder

Welcome to the appreciation party for the family owned Charvicov Brothers Circus. You'll meet the Ringmaster, the knife thrower, the knife thrower's assistant, the clown who truly seems to have a frown turned upside down with a mean streak, the lion tamer, the trapeze artist and the owner of the circus, his brother the corndog vendor, the ride operator and the owner's sister (you won't be able to help but notice the family resemblance).

As former employees/performers of the circus you will be privy to certain information that other audience members don't have, but they also know information that you may need.

The Ringmaster will need all of your help and knowledge to sift his way through the barrage of information and chaos to uncover who is responsible for the deadly deed.

Murder On The Bayou

Madame LaRue can not only conjure spirits from the other side, but also throw one spirited party. Join Madame LaRue and her young apprentice as they attempt to discover who may be dabbling in the art of voodoo and is responsible for the Colonel's death. Chester and Jeeter, the bumbling hillbilly twins will be on hand to assist Madame LaRue, but will probably cause more damage than help!

Is the southern belle really as innocent as she seems? Can the good Father really be enjoying the festivities with his good book missing?

Cajun catering by the famous Gingerbread House of Oakland is a must! A great time is guaranteed!

The Death Of The Pharaohs

A mysterious man arrives at the party with a brown paper package. He insists that he is being followed and that all of the doors and windows be locked. He is then found stabbed with an Egyptian blade. His parcel is unwrapped and found to contain an ancient Egyptian statue.

Can anyone decipher the hieroglyphics that are found on his body? Can the murder be solved before someone else falls prey to the punishment for the stolen statue? After all, the killer is still locked inside the house.
