Unique Live Murder Mystery Parties Offer Unique Entertainment

The Storyteller’s Cottage in Simsbury, CT has scheduled a unique series of live murder mystery parties throughout 2019, featuring actors dressed in character as suspects in a literary-inspired murder stationed in each room of its vintage Victorian house. Guests are invited to dress in their own vintage finest and throw themselves gleefully into playing clever detectives in these exciting, evolving stories. Participants will enjoy an unparalleled immersive experience, sipping cocktails and nibbling elegant hors d’oeuvres as they stroll through the house interrogating the suspicious characters until the time comes to guess the identity of the murderer.

Held from 8:00 - 11:00 pm on select Saturday nights in March, June, September & December, these glamorous evenings offer guests a uniquely dynamic experience, where their own actions influence the flow of the story. A dramatic and stimulating alternative to traditional night-out activities, the live murder mysteries at the Storyteller’s Cottage provide guests a chance to feel transported to fantastical times and places, and immersed in their favorite books.

The backstory of each mystery night alternates between Agatha Christie-inspired stories of dastardly upper crust murderers, and time traveling mysteries featuring famous authors from past and present. Each event ends with a different character as the murderer, and prizes are awarded for guests who correctly identify the criminal based on the strength of their alibi and the clues they reveal throughout the night.

The full series schedule includes:

Saturday, March 23 at 8pm … Murder on the Orient Express

Saturday, June 15 at 8pm … Murder at the Timeless Cottage

Saturday, September 21 at 8pm … Murder on the Trans-Siberian Express

Saturday, December 14 at 8pm … Murder at the Ivory Tower

On select nights, an upgrade to include wine is available for $10, and guests may also choose to BYOB on any night. These events are exclusively for guests aged 21 and up.
