The Quinn Estate
An Immersive Murder Mystery Dinner at Minervas
For one night, you're not yourself.
You're an heir with a debt. A widow with a grudge. Someone with an inheritance to protect and a lie to keep. It's 1926, and Eleanor Quinn, the woman who built a department store empire out of nothing and ruled her family with a checkbook in one hand and a grudge ledger in the other, is dead. Three days later, her lawyer has summoned every named beneficiary to the reading of the will. That's you. Attendance is required by its terms. And the will has one condition nobody saw coming: Eleanor knew she was being poisoned, slowly, for months. So she named no heir. The estate goes to those the room judges innocent, and the killer, she wrote, "is sitting at my table tonight..."
This is the night you scheme with strangers and leave with friends. Every guest arrives with a character, a secret, and one small gift Eleanor gave them over the years, and her gifts were never kind. You'll dig for the truth over dinner, trade suspicions between courses, accuse the person across the table, and laugh harder than you expected to. Everyone at the table wants the money. Some are guarding secrets. Some are protecting lies. By dessert, a name will be spoken aloud, and the fortune moves only when it is.
No acting experience needed, no pressure, nobody on the outside looking in. You get your character ahead of time, you show up, you play. Come as a couple, bring a group, or come solo and meet your fellow suspects.
The Evening
