Murder at the Park: Death on the Dancefloor

Event Description

A barn dance. A gunshot. A mystery to solve. It’s a Death on the Dancefloor.

Grab your dancing shoes, those detective instincts and the whole gang, it’s time to crack another case during Murder at the Park. In Death on the Dancefloor, a murder interrupts a lively dance at the Wainwright Hotel, and the lead investigator needs your help to uncover the truth.

The big twist? No two nights end the same, no copycat murderers in this building!

With a full cast of colourful suspects and some live knee-slapping folk music, this is a mystery you won’t want to miss. Gather your crew, follow the clues and see how your version of the story unfolds.
