Join us for a glamorous murder mystery dinner.
The game is afoot, and this time it’s murder. Meadow Brook’s annual Mystery Dinner invites amateur sleuths to a captivating evening of mystery and mayhem at the Great Estate. This immersive and interactive event includes a three-course meal, full signature bar and a chance to solve the mystery. Dress for the occasion as your most glamorous self.
This year’s theme is “Midnight at the Masquerade.” It’s a glittering gala where the guests wear masks – that just may hide their murderous intentions. Walk through our gates and be thrown into a night of mystery, intrigue and murder that you’ll never forget. With a killer crowd of people just waiting for murder to arrive on the scene, this night will keep everyone looking over their shoulders and guessing who the next victim will be.

A Guide to Masquerade Attire
Guests are encouraged to dress to impress for this occasion.
Ladies: It’s a bewitching occasion to be your most glamorous self with long gowns in sequins, silks, satins, lace or velvet. Jewel-tones set a glamorous tone, and no accessory can be too much – from statement jewelry to feather fascinators, lace gloves and faux-fur stoles. Don’t forget the most important accessory of all – a masquerade mask!
Gentlemen: You can’t go wrong in a sharp suit or dress to the nines in an elegant tuxedo. Dress shirts and ties, vests and suspenders all add polish to your appearance. Choose your masquerade mask with care – whether you strike a tone of mystery or mischief, just be sure your aren’t a suspect for murder!
