I've seen "Wanted Dead or Alive." Do you have other locations/dates/themes? Yes! Check out the options at

What time should I arrive? Please arrive between 7 and 7:30 PM

What time does the event begin? Salads are served and the mystery begins at 8:00 PM

I would like to buy tickets for my friend and give this as a gift. Wonderful! Yes you may purchase tickets for another guest. You will choose their entree for them when you purchase the ticket. They will use your name at the door upon arrival.

Will I be able to solve the mystery? Yes. There are clues pointing to a particular guilty party. This is not a majority rule decision.

I am celebrating a birthday. Is there a way to make it special for me? Yes. You could invite others and come right at seven to mingle and take photos. You could also volunteer to be a suspect accused of the crime. Choose a party name and give it to your friends. Have everyone use the same party name and you will be seated together.

I have a food allergy. How can I get that information to you? Choose "Dietary Concern" ticket. The Chef at Dutch's Daughter is able to accommodate almost all dietary restrictions with advance notice.

I would like to sit with my friend. Could we make separate reservations? Yes! Make a reservation with the same party name and you will be seated together. More than eight seats will be at neighboring tables.

I would like to book eight or more people. Is there a discount? fIf you purchase eight or more seats the cost per seats is discounted to $82/person. Additionally, if you pay by a check in the mail for eight or more seats, you will avoid eventbrite and credit card fees. Contact me, Wendy Olenik, at [email protected] or 410-549-2722 before mailing the check.

Are there any exceptions to the no refunds policy? No. Plan accordingly. Unless the restaurant is forced to be closed by state or county mandate, the event will go as planned and there will be no refunds or exchanges.

What if there is an emergency (illness, death in the family, etc.) and I cannot attend? Give your seat to a friend. Have them use your name at the door.

I would like to buy every seat and offer this as my company's employee appreciation party or my family's next reunion. If all the seats are available, the date is yours. Reach me at [email protected] or 410-549-2722 (accepts text).

I would like to arrange a private M**der mystery party on an alternate date at Dutch's Daughter. This is such fun! The price is $3900 for a group of 48 guests. The price includes the mystery, meal, tax, gratuity, and free parking at Dutch's Daughter. I will customize the mystery based on your event (company party, family reunion, birthday party, retirement party, etc.). You may have a lunch or dinner party, mid-week or weekend. The date is dependent on the restaurant's availability. To include alcohol for your guests, bring a card and pay at the end of the event. Your team is going to have a blast. For a different number of guests, contact me and I'll get you the price.

I have another question. You can reach me (Wendy Olenik) at [email protected] or 410-549-2722. I'm happy to help.
