Murder Mystery Train:

Traveling by train can be fun, romantic, and sometimes
dangerous. Take the case of the North Shore Scenic Railroadʹs
Elegant Dinner Train. A group of people, most of whom are
strangers to one another, sit down to a gourmet meal in the
beautiful Lake of the Isles dining car. As the train pulls
out of the Depot in Duluth
and heads onto the Lakefront Line, the guests in the dining car
meet one another and find that there is something just a little
off balance. An air of mystery
surrounds the ʺalter‐egosʺ of some of the passengers. To quote
Sherlock Holmes, ʺThe game is afoot.ʺ
|
Almost
as if planned to the exact minute, the train crosses
Railroad Street and the diesel engine's horn blares
out its warning...a shot rings out! One of the
passengers has met a cruel and quite fatal end. .For the
remainder of the evening, your job is to solve the crime and
deliver the guilty party to authorities by the time the train
returns to the station. Of course, because this is a
sophisticated and elegant evening, dinner and cocktails will
continue as if there is nothing
wrong. Fortunately, there is a world‐ famous detective on board
to assist in finding the guilty party.
It's an
evening of mirth, merriment, and mayhem
on The Disoriented Express!
Monday through Thursday Night
Murder Mystery Train Departs at 6:30 p.m.
