The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

A Murderously Festive Holiday Comedy

Silver bells are ringing at this seasonal standup performance, but the jolly jokester gets upstaged by an event far worse than bad holiday comedy: a Murder! With humbug hovering over the holiday, it is up to the unamused audience to unravel the mystery of whodunnit like last year's tacky knitted holiday sweater. While murder is making the night not-so-merry-and-bright, you must gather information, bribe your guests for clues, and solve the crime before this comedy act becomes a tragedy! Dress your best in your ugliest Christmas holiday sweater

Guests should arrive check in by 5:30pm; this will give everyone enough time to grab a drink and snack and visit with the troupe onboard before the show begins. The Queen City Tavern Concession car accepts cash and card.

Once your case has been solved, dinner will be hosted by Watkins Catering or Villaggio's Italian Eatery which are just a short walking distance from the train. Each Murder Mystery date will feature the selected menu selected either by Watkins or Villaggio's Italian Eatery and a beverage option of water, lemonade, or tea at Watkins and water, tea or a soft drink at Villaggio's.
Enjoy complimentary water, tea or a soft drink at Villagio's. A full cash bar will also be available for spirits and cocktails on an individual pay basis (separate check) at Villagio's only.
