Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Due to limited capacity, guests must register by Friday, June 12. Each registrant will be assigned a specific role, and every character is crucial to the plot, so please register only if you’re sure you can make it and stay for the entire event!
Created and led by Hudson Valley author and storyteller David Neilsen, this is a highly interactive event where registered guests will be assigned a character when they arrive at the Museum. If you feel the urge to dress the part, we can divulge that the “event” your character will be attending is a fancy evening opening reception at the Museum, set in the present day. Over-the-top costumes are welcome!
One lucky player will soon discover that they are, in fact, the guilty party and will need to cover their tracks and ensure they get away with murder. Players will need to perform tasks and gather knowledge in order to achieve goals and earn ‘money,’ which they can then use to purchase clues. You will need to interact with other players and study the art featured within the story in order to gain any idea as to the identity and motive of the killer.
