Murder Mystery Weekend on Whidbey Island

There’s a “murder” mystery afoot on Whidbey Island. Every year, the town of Langley transforms into a murder mystery for the weekend. The entire town participates! Local business pass out clues, while suspects roam the streets in character, letting you meet and interrogate them. There is a special gazette for the event, a murder scene to investigate, a coroner announcing their findings and things to observe. You learn as much as you can, and hopefully don't miss a vital clue, before coming up with the final solution. Those that got it right, can win some prizes.
I've been organizing this trip for the last 6 years (and won twice :)).

Having done it as both a day trip and a weekend trip, the weekend is way more fun! There is just so much sleuthing to do and cool little shops to explore, that one day is too short to enjoy it fully. We did it as a weekend trip last 3 years, and it was so much fun!

Details
We've got an house on a lake to serve as our headquarters. We can check in on Friday. Have breakfast together and start exploring on Saturday. Dinner together on Saturday to compare our findings and formulate theories. Spend a lovely evening at the lake and head out to finish sleuthing on Sunday.

We'll have plenty of time to collect a few dozen clues throughout the town, then analyze them, chat with live characters, and put our heads together over dinner to really solve the whodunit! Also Langley is a lovely quaint sea town with cute little shops and eateries, and sometimes you can see whales from the main street.

Dressing up is encouraged. Don your Sherlock Home's best :)
