Murder At The Meet Up- Our Biggest Murder Mystery Party Of The Year!

Murder At The Meet Up- Our Biggest Murder Mystery Party Of The Year!

Sat, Apr 25, 11:30 PM
From ! "NYC Social Events" !
3.9

\*\***Get tickets here:** https://newyorksocialnetwork.com/events/murder-at-the-meet-up-our-biggest-murder-mystery-party-of-the-year/ \*\*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 Admission.** This will be our ultimate Murder Mystery Party! Join us for a night of fun, deception, mystery, laughs and socializing. No experience is necessary and this is the perfect party whether you come alone or with a group of friends; by the end of the night you will have interacted with everyone in the room! This is 100% fun. **How it Works:** When you arrive our staff will welcome you, introduce you to others and let you choose the character in the story that you wish to play. Our staff will explain all the instructions and give you the info you need about the story, how you fit in and who you need to interact with. By the end of the night you will interact with dozens of other people who are playing their characters. Along the way you will be asking questions, giving information, maybe even bribing or extorting others! At one point during the party the unthinkable happens and it will be up to you and the others to try and figure out who did it! It could even be you!!!! At the end of the night everyone will have a chance to make their guesses and then socialize more out of character with everyone! **The Story** At the most coveted party of the year, the velvet ropes are tight, the guest list is exclusive, and everyone in New York’s social scene is desperate to get inside. The event is hosted by Niles Davies, a once-beloved promoter who rose from humble beginnings to become a powerful influencer in the city’s nightlife empire. But success has changed him. Former friends feel betrayed, rivals resent his power, and many claim he built his empire by using people and leaving them behind. On this electric night, the nightclub is packed with a chaotic mix of A-listers, rising influencers, jealous lovers, competing promoters, social climbers, and curious newcomers—all hoping to be part of the biggest party in NYC. Yet before the night is over, the celebration takes a dark turn when one guest is found dead. With secrets, grudges, and hidden motives everywhere, it’s up to the partygoers to uncover what really happened and determine who turned the hottest party in town into a deadly crime scene. 🕵️‍♂️🔍 **Cost:** $30 General Admission $20 Lifetime VIP Members **Can I Come Alone?** Yes, 98% of the attendees are solo but this is also fun for groups of friends. **Dress Code:** Comfortable and neat **Ages:** 21+ **Questions?** Contact dave@newyorksocialnetwork.com or call 212-873-2256 Non-refundable unless canceled. **Venue:** Stout at Grand Central **Address:** 2nd Floor, 60 East 41st Street at Park Avenue, New York, New York, 10017, United States \*\***Get tickets here:** https://newyorksocialnetwork.com/events/murder-at-the-meet-up-our-biggest-murder-mystery-party-of-the-year/
