[14+] Lakeside Slaughter: Hunt-A-Killer Mystery Night
Friday, June 13, 6pm
Murder Mystery Nights at the Library, featuring Hunt-A-Killer Mystery Boxes.
It’s Friday the 13th and the lakeside is no longer safe...
Ryan Bosley and his wife, Monica, book a vacation rental home by a lake to relax and reconnect. But after the couple gets into an argument at a neighbor’s cookout, Monica finds herself alone in their dark and empty rental house. When Ryan sees Monica again, she’s in a pool of her own blood, dead. The police suspect Ryan, but he believes another guest at the cookout is the killer, maybe a fiend in a hockey mask?
Team up with a group of like-minded detectives, investigate items found in the Lakehouse, analyze witness statements, and piece together a timeline to solve the mystery. You’ll be tasked with determining means, motive, and opportunity to bring the killer to justice!
Help Ryan prove his innocence and unmask the real slasher!
Participants must be ages 14+ (under 18 accompanied by a parent or guardian). Spots are limited, registration required.
