The Ultimate Summer Getaway... Gone Wrong!
Welcome to the exclusive summer getaway at The Bit "Resort"! Mingle with a colorful cast of resort guests and staff during our interactive cocktail hour. But keep your guard up—beneath the friendly atmosphere lies a web of secrets, rivalry, and hidden motives.
When a sudden and shocking murder cuts the party short, everyone becomes a suspect! Now it's up to you to crack the case.
What to Expect at the Show
An Immersive Cocktail Hour: The experience begins the moment you arrive. Our actors mingle seamlessly with the real guests in a fully interactive environment. Overhear gossip, interact with the characters, and watch out for deception!
Learn Real Detective Tradecraft: World-renowned detective Hugh Dunnit will be on the scene to officially "deputize" the audience. He’ll teach you actual tradecraft, like how to spot a liar by watching for changes in their baseline behavior and linguistic distancing.
Dinner & Deliberation: Following the dramatic stage action, the investigation continues over dinner next door at Hopvine Brewing Company. Work with your table to interrogate the suspects, ask planted questions, and watch for inconsistencies before the final reveal.
