Archlight Mysteries Night - Murder Mystery Board Games

What is Archlight Mysteries?

Archlight Mysteries is a live, team-based mystery night hosted at local bars and restaurants in St. Louis. Think escape room energy, but at your table with drinks, food, and friends. You’ll sit in small groups, open a case file full of clues, and race the other tables to figure out what really happened before time runs out.

How it works Teams: 3–6 people per table

Come with a group or arrive solo and we’ll match you with a team.

The game: Your table gets a case file packed with documents, photos, timelines, and odd little details that don’t quite add up.

Time: You’ll have about 60–90 minutes to work through the puzzles and piece the story together.

Hints: If you’re stuck, you can ask the host for a hint. This keeps things fun, not frustrating. Winning: When your team thinks you’ve cracked it, flag the host.

The first team to solve the case correctly wins the night.

Cost

Archlight Mysteries is $10

Who this is for:

- Friends who want something more interesting than “just drinks”
- Couples who like doing puzzles or escape rooms - Coworkers looking for a low-pressure team night

Basic house rules

- Phones are fine for timers and photos, but please don’t Google the puzzles.
- Don’t shout answers across the room or spoil the ending for other tables.
- Be cool with staff and other guests, this is a real bar/restaurant first, game night second.
