Whispers at the Wake
A Murder Mystery Event
Saturday, November 1st, 7:00-9:00 PM
Step back into the shadowed elegance of the 1930s at Whispers at the Wake, an immersive murder mystery set during the reading of the late Dr. Zebulon Greenleaf’s last will and testament. Guests will gather at Peri Social House, transformed for the evening into a place of mourning, where grief, suspicion, and long-buried secrets intertwine. As the will is unveiled, shocking revelations will cast suspicion on all present—and the truth of Dr. Greenleaf’s untimely death must be uncovered before the clock runs out.
Participants will mingle with a cast of characters who knew the deceased well, each with their own ties to Dr. Greenleaf and motives to conceal.
As secrets are revealed, guests must follow the trail of whispers, uncover hidden clues, and piece together the dark puzzle before time runs out. For those wishing to fully embrace the atmosphere, funeral attire of the 1930s is encouraged, though not required. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening, offering a fitting toast to the mysteries of the past.
