A 24-seat interactive mystery dinner where every guest receives a secret identity, a motive, and one piece of a disputed inheritance case.About this Event
The Undertaker's Will: New Orleans Mystery Dinner
Gideon Vale spent his life keeping records other people preferred not to read.
Before his death, the longtime undertaker revised his will.
The document is genuine.
The problem is what came with it.
A handwritten codicil changes who inherits part of the estate.
A burial record contains a name that should not be there.
And someone invited to the reading knows why.
The Undertaker's Will is an interactive fictional mystery told across a three-course dinner.
Every in-person guest receives a character identity connected to the case.
Everyone has a reason to be in the room.
Not everyone is telling the truth.
