Three Performances - Three Nights

Local theater company, Working Poets, brings to life an immersive murder mystery game of love, lies, and…justice? YOU, the audience, will get to decide, “Whodunnit?!”

The year is 1919. The great war is over. The city is changing.

Travel back in time: you are invited to a social gathering with some of Austin’s most influential residents.

Your guest of honor? R.C. Voss, a very wealthy oil speculator. The kind of wealth that attracts enemies.

You will attend his final night alive and be the one thing his murderer isn’t expecting…

Explore historic spaces.

Analyze the suspects.

Interrogate the witnesses.

Mingle with fellow detective-attendees to unravel the mystery of the evening because

you are the investigator!

Complimentary cocktails will be served before the game begins. Free parking available in the lot behind the Museum; accessible from W 23rd St.

costumes strongly encouraged but not required!

Detective-attendees are welcome to stand, walk around, and follow the suspects from room to room or move between seats and the suspects will come to you.

You decide.
