Join a murder mystery party in a Victorian mansion

It's like playing a live game of the classic board game Clue

Just in time for Halloween, Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion presents its Eleventh Annual Murder Mystery Party on four dates in late October. The 2016 theme is "Mystery in the House of Usher: A Poe Tale," written by Edward G. Pettit.

Participants of the murder mystery party will need to collect clues to discover which of the suspects murdered Lenore, which room they killed her in and what weapon was used.

It's like playing a live game of the classic board game Clue. Plus, attendees will have a chance to explore the historic Victorian mansion in Germantown.
