Whodunit Meets Fine Dining

Lost Valley Mysteries sets the scene: a 1958 gala at the Wathom estate turns deadly when someone winds up dead in the library. You’ll receive a character role, interrogate suspects, examine evidence, and figure out which powerful family is harboring a killer.

The evening includes cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres, salad, entrée, and dessert from Chef Todd. Between courses, you’ll piece together clues and interact with other guests to crack the case. Think of it as dinner theater where you’re not just watching—you’re solving.

Dress Code: 1950s Formal

Break out the vintage glam. This is your excuse to channel mid-century elegance with tailored suits, cocktail dresses, and period-appropriate accessories. The Lost Valley Mysteries team will guide you through the mystery, but the atmosphere is all about immersing yourself in the era.

Reservations require a $30 deposit to secure your spot, with the remaining $70 due at the event.
