About the event
DEADLY INHERITANCE
The Matriarch of a wealthy family is gravely ill and wishing to settle her estate. First, her long lost son must be declared officially dead. That’s where the fun begins! Join in as you and the other intensely greedy relatives gather to memorialize “Little Dickie” and battle for position to receive the lion’s share of the family’s $13 billion fortune. Be careful at this gathering, however, the next memorial could be for you.
More details will be provided soon regarding the
menu. We're expecting a good turnout for this event, so be sure to purchase your tickets ASAP. To learn more about the Acme Mystery Company, check out their website at acmemysterytheater.com
