We started the 2023-2024 Murder Mystery season off with some exciting new themes and settings. As much fun as the new themes are, we’ve got some great favorites in our catalog as well and we will be returning to several of them this season, including one or two that have been on hiatus for quite some time! In today’s announcement we revisit what has become quite a popular theme with our detectives in the last few years, the world of dark fairy tales. Please join us as Chief Detectives Michelle and Ryan and the Ravenwood Detective Agency take on the case of Goldilocks and the Three Murderers…

Once upon a time, in a castle nestled deep within an enchanted forest, a sinister tale unfolded, weaving mystery into the very fabric of fairy-tale charm. For this castle, though grand and majestic, hid a dark secret. Within its stone walls resided three villains, each harboring motives as twisted as the gnarled roots of the ancient trees surrounding the fortress.

On one fateful day the young Goldilocks found herself lost within the enchanted wood and stumbled upon the castle. As the hour had grown late and the shadows were growing longer, Goldilocks decided to enter the castle, hoping to find shelter for the night.

The moon cast an eerie glow over the turrets as the rustling leaves whispered secrets on the breeze. It was a night when shadows wore cloaks of treachery, and the air bore witness to an unthinkable crime. As the clock struck midnight, the castle walls echoed with a chilling scream that shattered the serenity of the night. Goldilocks was no more.

But who could be the culprit among the three potential murderers? Was it Papa Bear, the stern lord of the castle with a temper as fierce as a raging storm? Mama Bear, with a calculating gaze that masked her intentions like a thick mist in the woods? Or perhaps Baby Bear, whose seemingly innocent demeanor veiled a darkness within? Or, perhaps, were the bears merely convenient patsies for the true villain?

The Ravenwood Detective Agency is calling all agents, novice and veteran alike, to answer these questions and more. Join us February 2^nd & 3^rd for Goldilocks and the Three Murderers!

Tickets for Goldilocks and the Three Murderers are $100. As with all of our mysteries, the event starts after dinner on Friday. Late arrivals will be accommodated as best as possible, but to enjoy the full experience please attempt to arrive early Friday evening.

And stay tuned for more announcements about our exciting 2023-2024 event season!
