How it Works

You’ll join a group of professional actors who will guide you on your quest to solve the mystery. After kicking off the show with the entire group, you’ll be seprated into smaller teams and have the chance to interview key players one by one. Once you’ve had a chance to speak to each person involved in the murder, you’ll discuss with your team and craft your hypothesis. After each team presents their findings and conclusions, the truth will finally be revealed!

The team or teams that guessed correctly get ultimate bragging rights over everyone else.

About The Show

Prepare for a scavenger hunt through the underbelly of the Five Points. You will encounter aspirational low-lifes, destitute urchins, and all sorts in between. In your search for the truth you’ll uncover clues, confront suspects, and valiantly battle to mete out the justice that the slain victims deserve.

The Setting: Late 19th Century New York was a town still being shaped, still struggling to find its identity. Nowhere was that more true than the notorious “Five Points” in lower Manhattan. This area was a hotbed of crime and corruption, filled with swindlers, thugs, and black-hearted villains, many of whom were looking to take advantage of immigrants still fresh from processing at Ellis Island.

A few nights ago, in the wee hours, two Irish siblings were found dead in their tenement. The air is rife with foul play, and it’s up to you to take up the detective’s mantle and find them some kind of peace in this interactive murder mystery based on a real unsolved crime from the 1870s.

In a thrilling interrogation game, these teams will venture into their own spaces – breakout rooms in a virtual setting or separate areas in a physical venue – to question all the suspects. For the grand finale, everyone reconvenes in the main room, whether it be our primary virtual space or the central area of the in-person venue. Here, teams will engage in lively discussions, piecing together clues and sharing their theories to unravel the mystery of the actual culprit!
