The holiday gift giving season may be wrapping up, but we have one final present to offer – one last murder mystery for the 2024-2025 season! Our fearless detectives have worked hard this season, tackling murders, zombies, Vikings, vampires, game-shows turned deadly and more. We thought it only fitting to give them a bit of a break in this final mystery, and indulge in a little refreshing silliness. We’re thrilled to bring back one of last year’s favorite new themes, an homage to Monty Python and the Holy Grail! Please join Chief Detectives Michelle and Ryan as they lead the Ravenwood Detective Agency in The Case of the Trojan Rabbit…

It was a dark and stormy night – because, of course it was. Thunder rattled the stained glass windows of Ravenwood Castle. Inside, a curious gathering of lords, ladies, and at least one questionable juggler were halfway through an elaborate feast when the drawbridge creaked ominously.

There, in the flickering torchlight, stood an enormous wooden rabbit. No explanation. No note. Just a suspiciously out-of-place woodland creature.

“Well let’s not leave it in the rain” called a voice from the crowd, “drag it inside!”, and so the rabbit was pulled into the hall.

Looking back, that’s when the trouble started. By dawn, a body lay slumped in the Great Hall, a series of bizarre clues pointed to the mysterious rabbit, and a castle full of suspects wondered who amongst them was clever – or silly – enough to weaponize a giant wooden bunny.

The Ravenwood Detective Agency is calling all agents, knights and enchanters to assist in solving this dastardly silly murder. Join us April 11^th & 12^th for The Case of the Trojan Rabbit!

Tickets for The Case of the Trojan Rabbit are $100. As with all of our mysteries, the event starts after dinner on Friday. Late arrivals will be accommodated as best as possible, but to enjoy the full experience please attempt to arrive early Friday evening.

While this is the final murder mystery of our 2024-2025 season, we still have a few non-mystery events to announce, so stay tuned. And of course keep an eye out in the next few months for the debut announcement of our 2025-2026 murder mystery season!

If you haven’t been to one of our mystery weekends and are wondering what they are all about, check out our Anatomy of a Murder Mystery page for all of the details. And stay tuned here at Quoth the Raven to hear about the rest of the great mysteries we have planned for this season!
