Chaos at the Cookout: An Interactive M**der Mystery in Thompson Park

Skills M**der Mysteries Presents: Chaos at the Cookout — Played Out in the Park!

Chaos is about to break out during a neighborhood cookout… and it's up to you to piece together the clues. Who will survive the night? Who can you trust? And more importantly, will you uncover the truth, or become part of the mystery yourself?

This summer, we’re firing things up with something totally new: we’re bringing our hit mystery game Chaos at the Cookout to Thompson Park’s iconic Bandstand for a special outdoor event!

🗓 Sunday, August 17th

🕐 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

📍 Thompson Park Bandstand, Watertown, NY

For just $10, you can jump into the drama as one of:

🔹 10 male roles

🔹 10 female roles

🔹 or join the sleuthing action as a General Admission Detective

We’re keeping it cool with cold refreshments, but here’s the twist — this is a BYOG event (Bring Your Own Grub)! That’s right, pack your favorite summer snacks or picnic fare and make it an afternoon to remember.

This is an alcohol-free event — thanks for helping us keep it fun and family-friendly!

This low-cost park mystery is our way of welcoming new players and giving everyone a chance to experience the thrill of the game. Whether you're a seasoned sleuth or brand-new to the world of whodunnits, we’d love to see you there.

Spaces are limited — claim your spot soon and get ready to grill some suspects 🔍
