Illustration of a candlelit Halloween dinner table with small pumpkins, a candelabra, friendly ghosts and costumed figures (Mystery at the Museum)

Mystery at the Museum

Guests gather at Eleven restaurant for a welcome cocktail and hearty hors d’oeuvres when a murder occurs under suspicious circumstances. Working in small groups, participants venture through the museum galleries to interview suspects, examine motives, test alibis, and collect clues. The evening concludes back in the restaurant, where guests cast their votes for the culprit and watch the dramatic finale.
