Guests Search for Clues at Murder Mystery Dinner

An evening of costumes, dancing, dinner and sleuthing are in store for those who attend a Murder Mystery Dinner at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 14 in Tyler Van Dusen Commons at Alma College.

Tickets are $10 for adults and youth and free for Alma College students. Seating is limited; call (989) 463-7304 for ticket information.
 
“Alma College has hosted mystery dinners previously, but we haven't had one in five years,” explains Mike Sheldon, event coordinator. “We thought the time was right for another Murder Mystery Dinner as it’s a unique experience for our students and the community.”

The event will begin as a masquerade-themed dinner party, but a “murder” will take place during the dinner that will leave every attendee as a suspect.

“The dinner will be a party with good food, a live DJ, and a dance floor,” says Sheldon. “During the party, something sinister will happen and everyone will be a suspect. Guests will try to solve the mystery.”

The theme for the evening is “Murder at the Masquerade,” and guests are encouraged to dress up in masks, says Sheldon.

“Murder mystery dinners are always fun events because they are different from anything else we plan for the campus,” says Sheldon.
