We'll have a good # attending. Must prepay to attend.) You don’t need any special skills — just a sense of adventure and curiosity! This unique scavenger hunt is all about connecting, uncovering history, exploring Grand Central and solving a mystery. Join us for a fun, social adventure at our Grand Central Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt. Get ready to have a good time making new friends and solving a mystery. Plus, you'll find out things about Grand Central you never knew before! How It Works: * **When you arrive we will put you on teams - if you don’t already have one (90% of those attending will not have a team).** * **Each team will be given a list of clues and 75 minutes to head to Grand Central to uncover the mystery of Mary’s demise. The team with the most points wins.** * **Once everyone is back we'll safely socialize where you can share your experiences with the others.** The Theme: Meet Up Mary is a regular on the social circuit in New York. You'd probably know her if you've been out before. She was very personable, friendly and bubbly! Unfortunately Mary met a horrific end at Grand Central and the police need you help to solve her case! Join us for this fun and educational night where you will get to explore every corner of the NYC Landmark in ways that you never have before! (If you have participated in our other Grand Central Hunts no worries as this is a completely different experience) FAQs: **Can I come alone?** Yes about 90% will attend on their own. **What's dress code?** Wear what you had on at work. It's casual and comfortable. **What are the ages?** 21 and over. We'll have a good mix of ages. **How much to attend?** $25 (goes to $35 as event gets closer). **Do I have to buy in advance?** Yes.

Fun Interactive Murder Mystery Event & Party

\*\***Get tickets here:** https://newyorksocialnetwork.com/events/fun-interactive-murder-mystery-event-party-2/ \*\*RSVPs on MeetUp only represent a portion of those ACTUALLY attending. How many are attending? Who is going to be there? What can I expect? Any questions email Dave@newyorksocialnetwork.com\*\* **Cost: $30 general members / $20 VIP members** Our Murder Mystery Parties are an awesome alternative to the usual bar scene. It is a great way to go out on your own or with friends and meet other fun people in a super organized and interesting way! This week we present our Jazz Age Murder Mystery where in a swanky NYC nightclub during prohibition, a grisly murder takes place and everyone is a suspect! No expertise is necessary–just your love of having fun! Admission to the murder mystery also includes admission to our singles party immediately following at the same venue. **What to expect:** Register below and join us at The Wilson. Our NYSN staff will be on hand to welcome you, introduce you to others and explain how the night works. Everyone will be given a character sheet explaining who they are and how they fit into the story. Your Jazz Host will guide you through the story and help you interact with the others at the event to help you solve the murder. Throughout the night different things will be revealed to help you reach your goal. Following the event you are invited to stay for our singles mixer at The Wilson for free. **The Theme:** During a night of Prohibition-era revelry, something goes terribly wrong. Backstory The guests are a mixed group of club staff members, entertainers, and guests at a private party held at a jazz club in 1920s New York City. It is the height of the Jazz Age, and social revolution is afoot. This is the age of Prohibition—and of bootleggers and gangsters. Club owner Felix Fontano, the son of a successful bootlegger and crime boss—and a successful businessman himself—is throwing this private party for a group of select friends. It is a night of revelry like many other nights of revelry enjoyed by this group of sophisticates, artists, and hoodlums . . . until things go horribly wrong. **Cost:** $30 general members / $20 VIP members **Recommended ages:** 21+. **Can I come alone?** Yes, most guests do! It’s a great way to meet new people. **Dress:** Casual, but neat. If you want to get into character, feel free to dress your gangster/flapper best! Questions?
