First, your group will work together to plot the perfect fictional crime. Using a framework of motives, means, and literary mischief, you will devise a fiendishly clever murder. Then, the tables will turn! You will swap your newly plotted mystery with another group and race to see who can unravel the other team’s clues and solve the crime first.
Whether you bring your own sleuthing squad or join a group when you arrive, it promises to be an afternoon of teamwork, laughter, and brilliant twists. Grab a glass of your favorite Revalation vintage and let the games begin!
Join us on Sunday, August 16, from 2-4 pm. Tickets are $30 per person (plus tax). Tickets include one glass of wine or our non-alcoholic verjus and the mystery-solving workshop. Don’t delay! Tickets for this event are limited to only 30 people!
