What You Will Learn
The year is 1899. A grand dinner has been called at No Thyme to Cook for the reading of one of the great Lord's Last Will and Testament. There’s just one problem... someone won’t survive the evening. Join No Thyme to Cook and Spooky Solomons for an interactive, Sherlock Holmes-style murder mystery where everyone plays a part—and anyone at your table could be the murderer.
As you enjoy delicious food prepared by the chefs at No Thyme to Cook, your Host, Mark Smith will lead you through an evening of suspects, secrets, clues, accusations, and a murder that must be solved. Question your fellow guests, follow the evidence, and decide who among you had the motive, means, and opportunity to commit the crime.
This isn't a show where you simply sit back and watch. Every guest is part of the game. You'll receive a character and become part of the mystery as it unfolds around the dinner table.
Guests are encouraged to add to the fun by dressing in late-Victorian, Sherlock Holmes-inspired attire. Period dress is encouraged but not required.
Come hungry, come suspicious, and be careful who you trust. The murderer may be sitting right beside you.
