Step back in time to the roaring 1920s and immerse yourself in an unforgettable evening of mystery, intrigue, and suspense at "Prohibition Can be Murder." Join us for a thrilling interactive murder mystery dinner with escape rooms set in the clandestine world of Cary's Prohibition Era. This exclusive event is hosted by the notorious bootlegger, Matthew Cephus, at his opulent manor, The Matthews House.

As you enter the secret bootleg party, you'll find yourself surrounded by the glitz and glamour of the Gatsby Era. The air is filled with excitement as you mingle with Matthew Cephus's family members, business associates, and other prominent residents of Cary. Indulge in a catered dinner and sip on illegal drinks, all while soaking in the atmosphere of a bygone era.

But beware, as the evening takes an unexpected turn when a crime more sinister than bootlegging unfolds. Guests will be whisked into different rooms, each presenting a unique escape challenge. Use your wit, follow the clues, and work together to solve the mystery that unfolds before you. 

Once you escape your room, share your found clues with the others. You will have the opportunity to question the suspects and investigate the property. Then, we collect together where you can make your accusations and the mystery will be resolved!  The fate of the evening rests in your hands to unravel the secrets hidden within The Mathews House.

To enhance the experience, we encourage all guests to dress in their favorite Gatsby Era attire, adding an extra touch of authenticity to this immersive journey through time. 

For those seeking to surprise a member of your party, opt for them a Secret Suspect ticket, where they will be seamlessly woven into the storyline, becoming a part of the mystery. Additional information will be collected on this person ahead of time to handcraft this surprising twist, especially to the Surprise Suspect!

Don't miss your chance to be a part of "Prohibition Can be Murder," where the glamour of the 1920s collides with the suspense of an interactive murder mystery and escape rooms. 

Secure your tickets now for an evening filled with fun, suspense, and unexpected twists that will transport you to a world where Prohibition can indeed be murder!
