2025 Murder Mystery Dinner at the Donaldson Brown Mansion

Tonight's murder mystery is based on the board game CLUE. You should come wearing a yellow, purple, or green tie; dressed as Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, or Mister Green. Or you in a red, a blue, or a black cocktail dress; as Ms. Scarlet, Ms. Peacock, or Ms. White. This is an interactive game. All guests play detectives searching for clues, interrogating suspects, and solving whodunnit or suspects casting suspicion on others, giving out clues and proclaiming their innocence. The premise is we are at a dinner party at Mr. Body's mansion. We have helped to fund a pop-culture museum he is building. The dinner is his way of thanking us. He is unaware that he's invited a killer to his party. He's about to find out.

You'll wonder, was it the Colonel in the Kitchen with the Candlestick? Or the Professor in the Parlor with the Lead Pipe? Join us and solve whodunnit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should we dress? I will not turn anyone away regardless of how they are dressed. That said, the premise is that it is the anniversary of the board game CLUE and Mr. Body is asking his wealthy friends to come to his dinner party as the characters. Mr. Green, Mr. Plum (a professor), Mr. Mustard (a colonel), or Ms. Scarlet, Ms. Peacock, or Ms. White.

I want to buy more than four seats. Can I get the discount? Yes. Choose the Double Date ticket. It will allow you to purchase 4-9 seats.
