Overview

Fun, interactive murder mystery theater on the trolley! Someone has murdered the Circus Queen...and suspects abound among the circus folk on board. Everyone seems to have a motive. Wear a circus costume if you wish, find yourself among the suspects, and help our sleuths to solve the mystery!

There is no acting. You are only reading lines in a script for speaking parts or wearing a prop for non-speaking roles. In order for the show to work we highly encourage guests to participate- it’s easy and very fun! Our roles are cast in advance, so please contact us

Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the tour leaves. Trolleys leave at your scheduled time. If you don't arrive within 5 minutes of departure time, we reserve the right to resell your ticket.
