This week I am excited to announce the next mystery of the 2024-2025 season, in which we revisit one of our longest running and most popular themes, zombies! Please join Chief Detectives Michelle and Ryan as they and the Ravenwood Detective Agency take on the Dead of the Night…

In the dead of winter, an isolated castle deep in the woods lies shrouded in a heavy fog. Snow blankets the forest, muffling all sound except the occasional eerie howl of the wind. A group of guests has gathered at the castle for a luxurious winter retreat, unaware of just how memorable their weekend will be.

Late the first evening as the activity in the castle’s tavern winds down and guests begin to return to their rooms, the power flickers. Darkness falls. There is a crash in the dark. As the lights come back the guests make a grisly discovery – one of their own is found dead at the foot of a fallen barstool. But as the group looks on in shock, they realize the real terror has just begun. For the victim doesn’t appear to be staying dead.

As the bitter cold closes in on the castle, trust amongst the guests unravels. The line between human and monster blurs. Who—or what—is hunting them? And can they solve the mystery before the dead rise again? The Ravenwood Detective Agency is calling all agents, novice and veteran alike, to answer these questions and more. Join us January 31^st & February 1^st for Dead of the Night!

Tickets for Dead of the Night 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.

And stay tuned for more announcements about our exciting 2024-2025 event season!
