No Thyme to Cook
14624 Solomons Island Road SouthChristmas isn't merry and bright for everyone.
Year after year, the same familiar faces are expected to spread Christmas cheer, reenact their stories, and somehow remain festive through it all. Eventually, something had to give.
The lights suddenly go out, a strange sound comes from the darkness, and when they come back on, Scrooge is dead—with a sprig of holly through his heart.
Suddenly, everyone is a suspect. The Grinch has his reasons for hating Christmas. The Sugar Plum Fairy may not be quite as sweet as she seems. Familiar faces from Christmas stories, songs, and movies are hiding secrets of their own. Somewhere among them is a murderer.
Join us at No Thyme to Cook for an interactive Christmas murder mystery filled with dinner, laughter, suspicious characters, hidden motives, and plenty of holiday mischief. Come ready to play your part, question your fellow guests, follow the clues, and decide who committed the crime.
No Thyme to Cook provides the feast, while Spooky Solomons Historical Ghost Tours brings the murder and mayhem.
After all, nothing brings people together at Christmas quite like accusing your friends and family of murder.
