Mystery & Mayhem: The Mystery & Mayhem party option offers incredible improvisational and age-appropriate dress-up mystery parties where guests ages 8 and up become suspects in a horrendous crime! “Like Clue, but better!” is the way one youngster described the event, with five riveting and hilarious dramas to choose from. Guests receive gifts of crystals or semi-precious stones in pouches. Magic shows and fortune-telling parties are also available.
A dastardly crime, a riveting mystery, and a one-of-a-kind party for ages 9-19!
