'Dead by Dinner' murder mystery scheduled at Former Governors' Mansion
September 20, 2024
BISMARCK, N.D. - Step back to the 1950s when you attend "Dead by Dinner," a murder mystery party game at the Former Governors' Mansion State Historic Site, Bismarck. Come as your assigned character, dressed in the best fashion of the times. Prior to the event, you will be emailed your character assignment and information about the person.
Two sessions with light appetizers are available:
- Friday, Nov. 1, from 7 to 10 p.m., exclusively for ages 21 and up, with a cash bar.
- Saturday, Nov. 2, from 7 to 10 p.m., for ages 16 and up, featuring non-alcoholic drinks.
A quiet, charming, small town conceals a web of secrets and rivalries. When Mayor Samuel Whitaker invites a select group of the town's most influential residents to a dinner party at his estate, the occasion is meant to be a celebration of their contributions to the town. But things could quickly turn sour. Interrogate the other guests for clues to solve the murder.
Tickets are $25 and must be purchased in advance on Eventbrite at dead-by-dinner.eventbrite.com/ for the Nov. 1 event, and at dead-by-dinner2.eventbrite.com/ for the Nov. 2 event. Each event is limited to 25 participants.
The Former Governors' Mansion, located at the corner of Fourth Street and Avenue B in Bismarck, is a state historic site managed by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. Admission is free. Hours are from 1 to 5 p.m. the second combined Friday and Saturday of each month or by appointment. For more information, call Site Supervisor Johnathan Campbell at 701.328.9528 or [email protected].
