Ministry Teams
Thank You Party
Thursday, June 4th
6:00–9:30pm
Heritage Hall (3102 Main Street)
You are hereby summoned to an evening unlike any other...
We invite you to join us for a most unusual dinner—one that will demand not only your presence, but your imagination. For one night, reality will fade as we step onto the set of a living story. Each of us will take on a role, becoming characters in a tale yet to unfold.
But beware—this is no ordinary gathering.
Before the night is through, a crime will be committed… and a murderer will walk among us.
You will be called upon to observe, to question, to suspect, and ultimately, to solve the mystery.
Study the details that follow carefully. Everything you need to prepare—and to survive the evening—lies within.
The game is about to begin.
A Murder Mystery ACT 1, MURDER 2
A Murder Mystery on Set...
Tonight, you are not just guests… you are part of the production.
Welcome to the set of a lavish new period drama, inspired by the elegance and intrigue of an English country estate in the 1920's. The film’s eccentric director has chosen this very venue to shoot several key scenes—and you have been invited as extras and crew in the production. But you will not be required to act.
But as tensions rise between the glamorous cast, ambitious crew, and fragile egos, it quickly becomes clear that not everything is as polished as it appears…
Jealousy. Secrets. Scandal.
And before the night is over… murder.
Pay attention, gather clues, and watch closely—because anyone could be the killer… and you may be the one to solve it.
