Planning for a Private Mystery Dinner:

  • We suggest that you plan your Private Mystery 3 or more weeks in advance - but, sometimes we can fit in last minute requests. 

  • When making arrangements for others, we need everyone's names and addresses that will be attending because...

  • Prior to your mystery dinner date, (about 8 to 10 days) we mail each person participating an information packet - that is a Personal and Confidential Character Profile - it includes a full character description and costume suggestions. 

  • Depending on the Mystery you select, many times your costumes can be put together with items found in your closet.

  • You may tell each other what your character's name is and most certainly you can help each other put costumes together, but, please DO NOT tell anyone what your character knows until you get to the mystery.

  • DO NOT read anyone else's Confidential character information.
