Murder Mystery Holiday Dinner Party: Dead as a Doornail

A ticketed Christmas Immersive Murder Mystery Dinner at the Redondo Beach Historic Library by the beach. It's the holiday season at the estate, and the family has gathered for Christmas. But the festive cheer doesn't last long: the head of the Hargrove family has been murdered, and nearly everyone in the house had a reason to want him dead. This is not a show you watch from your seat. You are part of the story. Guests receive a secret role, then mingle, question the suspects, and hunt for clues as costumed actors move from table to table, staying in character all night. Enjoy cocktails and a delicious buffet dinner while you piece together who had the motive, the means, and the opportunity. At the end of the night, you'll make your formal accusation, and we'll reveal who the murderer really was. No experience is needed, and it's a great night out for date nights, friends, family, and company holiday outings. Come in your holiday best, or dress up to match the mystery! What to expect: - A welcome and orientation, with a cash bar open for cocktail hour - A buffet dinner with your choice of entrée and sides included. Guests to select 1 entree (Pinot Gris Chicken Thighs, Grilled Salmon, Mediterranean Cauliflower) and 3 sides (Honey Chipotle Baby Potatoes, Roasted Broccolini, Artisan Bread Rolls). - A live, interactive mystery with secret roles, clues, and a formal accusation. Guests can ask questions, accuse suspects, and solve the case to win. - Dessert and awards at the end of the night, including freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. - Costumed actors at your table, in character the whole evening - The show runs about 2.5 to 3 hours, with the actors performing table to table, so every guest is part of the mystery. - The story: a Christmas murder at the Hargrove estate. The father is dead, and everyone at the table has a motive. - Festive attire is encouraged, and guests should arrive ready to play detective.
