Clue at the Zoo

Buy tickets online and join at the Alaska Zoo to solve a murder mystery set during the Klondike Gold Rush. Come dressed in your best attire (miner, trapper, saloon girl, late 1800's) and solve the murder of one of your fellow stampeders. Your team might solve this tragic mystery.

Clue at the Zoo 2025 will be held on the Alaska Zoo grounds the evening of Saturday, August 2nd, starting at 4:30pm. Everyone will gather for the opening scene on the zoo lawn at 5:45pm. Your investigative team will traverse zoo grounds to different suspect stations, where you will question suspects for information while enjoying zoo animals, drinks, food, and more. You will even come across miners who are in the know and accepting bribes. There will be a final gathering on the lawn at 8:30pm, where the true identity of the murderer will be revealed. The zoo will close at 10:00 pm.

Tickets are purchased by teams of 2 or 6 investigators. There are two VIP team tickets available. These VIP teams will check in at 4:00 pm and will receive an hour enjoying drinks at the Red Lady Saloon with the characters, giving them time to observe the suspects interacting with each other and gain insight into their dynamics with the victim. Each team will receive additional pieces of evidence before arriving at the zoo to help solve the mystery.
