Frostbitten Farm Heist: A 1927 Murder Mystery Dinner

Winter, 1927. Walker Homestead has become the secret hideout for a bootlegging ring moving moonshine across state lines. On this icy night, the gang gathers to plan their biggest—and final—winter shipment.

But when a key member is found dead in the barn’s icehouse, trust shatters. Someone has betrayed the operation. Someone knows too much. And someone isn’t who they claim to be.

Guests become part of the story, stepping into character roles revealed one week prior—complete with a seasonal farm-to-table menu.

Dress the part, dine by candlelight, and trade secrets as you unravel the mystery between courses. By the end of the night, one clever sleuth may crack the case and take home the prize.
