The 2026-2027 murder mystery season is well underway. This week I’m excited to announce the next mystery of the season, in which we visit a classic noir setting. Please join Chief Detectives Michelle and Ryan as they lead the Ravenwood Detective Agency to a Ravenwood Castle speakeasy, in Murder on the Rocks…

It was an exciting weekend at Ravenwood Castle, as the team launched a new speakeasy hidden amidst the back rooms behind the Raven’s Roost Pub. The crowd was hopping, the liquor was flowing, and the mood was fantastic. Everything was going great… except for the body in the corner booth.

When the wait staff checked on the booth they discovered a spilled cocktail warming next to a guest that was cooling. With the lights dimmed nobody knew how long the body had been there, nor how exactly the deceased had gone from a lively guest to a less than lively one.

Did the unnamed guest simply expire at an inconvenient time? Was the drink spilled as the corpse collapsed, or was the upset cocktail somehow connected to the untimely demise? Regardless, when the remaining guests discovered that the drinks weren’t the only thing that was stiff, the party came to an abrupt end.

The Ravenwood Detective Agency is calling all agents, novices and veterans alike, to solve the case of Murder on the Rocks, before anyone else is served their final round. Join us January 22^nd & 23^rd for Murder on the Rocks!

Tickets for the Murder on the Rocks are $100. 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.

If you haven’t been to one of our mystery weekends and are wondering what they are all about, check out our Anatomy of a Murder Mystery page for all of the details. And stay tuned here at Quoth the Raven to hear about the rest of the great mysteries we have planned for this season!
