Murder Mystery Dinner



Last weekend David and I went to a Hunt's Murder Mystery at Spaghetti Mama's in Sandy. In September I bought tickets through KSL's Deal of the Day and then I forgot about it. I found it awhile ago and called up and reserved us a spot.  We had so much fun! I brought my camera, but I felt silly taking pictures/didn't know if it was frowned upon, etc. 
 
The show we attended was called Mid-Evil Days and Knights.
"Come join the merriment in the Mid-Evil age of England at Earl Blackney Grey's Darksome Castle as a tale of maidens, knights, witchcraft and hey-nonny-nonny unfolds. Who will the Earl designate his heir: his chip-off-the-old-block son, Colwyn (Cole) Grey; or his minstrel son, Edward Grey? Which son does Lady Faye Grey favor? Will the quick-witted Brother Smothers from the Monastery of St. Elmer the Beduddled unravel the mystery? Is Lilith of the Valley really a witch? Is Nellie the nurse the Earl’s fancy or does he have eyes on another?"

 The actors were dressed in mid-evil attire and were in character the whole time. As you entered, you were announced and told your table placement. David and I were seated with a couple in their 50's or 60's. I was worried that it might be awkward at first, but it turned out that they were very friendly and we had a good time with our new friends. 

Before dinner, the characters mingled and gave the participants the chance to get to know a little background. After dinner was brought out, the show began. There was singing, dancing, humor, and audience participation. The murder was committed and the audience was given deliberation time (you could talk to your neighbors, live cast members, etc.) and then we got to choose who the murderer was, their motive, and weapon. I was the only one at my table who was correct! Three of the people who had the correct answer received prizes. Unfortunately I was not one of the three drawn. 

It was a fun date!
