Observer Ticket – Watch the Mystery Unfold (No Character Role)

Price: $45

Food, Drinks & Concessions

Please note: Tickets do not include food or beverages unless the event is specifically advertised as a dinner event.

For most events, we recommend that guests eat prior to arriving. A great option is Toro Viejo, the Mexican restaurant located right next door to our venue. It’s an easy way to grab a meal before stepping into the mystery.

We operate a concessions-style menu at the venue with light options available for purchase, such as:

• Snack items (chips, candy, popcorn, etc.)
• Non-alcoholic beverages (soda, water, etc.)
• Occasional themed treats or specialty items

Concessions are perfect for snacking during the mystery, but are not intended to replace a full meal.

You are welcome to arrive a few minutes early to purchase snacks and drinks before the mystery begins. Concessions will also be available during the event.

If you have questions about what will be available for a specific date, feel free to contact us before booking.

Mystery Synopsis:

Sutton Springs isn’t just a vacation hotspot—it’s the playground of the rich, the famous, and the people who make their scandals disappear.

Lately, though, the secrets have been spilling into the national news. Desperate to shift the spotlight, Mayor Lillian Moon has announced the Red Rose Masquerade Ball: an over-the-top, no-expense-spared gala meant to dazzle the world and bury the town’s bad press under champagne bubbles and glittering masks.

To prove Sutton Springs is still the place to see and be seen, Mayor Moon has promised to livestream the entire event worldwide—every entrance, every dance, every whispered conversation. It’s a bold move, and the townsfolk are holding their breath, praying that nothing shocking, scandalous, or unforgivable explodes on camera for millions to witness.

You’ve just received your coveted ticket to the ball at the legendary Regal Rose Resort.

Soon, you’ll step onto the red carpet, camera lights flashing, your identity hidden behind an exquisite mask as you glide into the opulent Dream Ballroom—all velvet drapes, crystal chandeliers, and secrets waiting to be exposed.

The world is watching.

The town is trembling.

Your mask is in place.

This is where your story begins.

How the Experience Works

An Immersive, Hands-On Experience

Our murder mysteries are not staged like a traditional play. They are fully interactive, mingle-style events where you move around the room, talk to other guests, and become part of the story.

Most guests attend as characters, but we also offer a very limited number of Observer tickets for those who want to watch before jumping in.

Character Tickets – Be Part of the Story

Step into a unique role and bring your character to life.

With a Character Ticket, you will:

• Receive a character with a backstory, secrets, and objectives
• Interact with other guests to share (and hide) information
• Help drive the investigation forward and influence how the story unfolds

You’ll receive step-by-step instructions, but it’s up to you to add personality, creativity, and strategy to achieve your objectives.

New or nervous?

We have plenty of low-pressure supporting roles that don’t put you in the spotlight. At checkout, you’ll be able to tell us:

• If this is your first murder mystery
• How involved you’d like your character to be (low-key supporting vs. big and dramatic)
• 
  

We’ll use your answers to match you with a character that fits your comfort level as closely as possible.

Observer Tickets – Watch the Mystery Unfold (No Character Role)

With an Observer Ticket, you attend the event without playing a character.

As an Observer, you will:

• Not receive a character sheet or assigned role
• Not be part of the story
• Still be able to watch the investigation, follow along with the clues, and submit a final accusation at the end
• 
  

This option is great for guests who want to see how a mingle-style murder mystery works before playing a character at a future event.

Important:

This is not a sit-down stage show. Most guests will be playing characters and moving around the room. As an Observer, you’ll be watching and listening in rather than playing a role.

Limited Availability:

Observer tickets are very limited (typically 4–6 per event) to keep the experience interactive for everyone. Once they are sold out, only Character Tickets will be available.

What to Expect

At a typical event, you can expect:

• A live murder, investigation, and evidence presentation
• Plot twists, red herrings, and evolving storylines
• A chance to compete to solve the case and earn bragging rights as the top sleuth
• 
  

Questions Before You Book?

If you’re unsure how our events work or which ticket type is best for you, please contact us before purchasing. We’re happy to help you choose the right experience.

Ticket Policy

Please read carefully before purchasing tickets.

• All ticket sales are final and non-refundable.
• Many of our events involve carefully assigned characters who play critical roles in the storyline (unless Observer tickets are specifically offered).
• Because of this, ticket transfers are not guaranteed and will only be considered on a case-by-case basis, requested no later than 30 days before the event.
• Each character assignment includes personalized materials prepared in advance and cannot be modified at the last minute.

As guests are assigned characters with specific objectives, we cannot predict or control every choice they make. While we design each mystery with a clear intended outcome, we cannot be held responsible for unexpected actions—such as guests revealing information early or disregarding their objectives.

Our team will always do our best to:

• Maintain the integrity of the mystery
• Support guests in understanding their roles
• Provide an immersive, enjoyable experience for everyone

By purchasing a ticket, you acknowledge and accept these terms and understand that the success of the experience depends on the participation and cooperation of all attendees.
