Murder in Deadwood, a western murder mystery party
“The sheriff peered over his eyeglasses and said, ‘Your son is a suspect in the murder.’”
― Jeannie Walker
Video trailer for Murder in Deadwood (1:13)
Set in the historic Wild West in the rather lawless town of Deadwood, this Dinner Murder Mystery game brings out the cowboy in all of us. Be prepared for an entertaining evening of mystery and share in the fun of the gold rush, where you will meet characters such as Wild Bill Hiphop, Kitty "Wildcat" Butane and Sheriff Wyatt Hurt. With rumors of gold in the Black Hills, an assortment of dubious characters and an unexpected murder, you will soon find yourself both a suspect and a sleuth.
There’s much more to Deadwood, however, than the first syllable of its name. Just like a stampede, when things get going in this town, there is no stopping them. You will discover, that when the dust settles in Deadwood it all adds up to murder at this Western Dinner Murder Mystery Party.
Available in 22-character version (regular or tame), with two additional 10-character packages available.
