Murder Mystery Weekend
November 4-6, 2011
For a weekend away from it all, why not really get away from it all and become a totally different person? You get to be someone else, perhaps even a murderer, or at least a suspect.

All guests are assigned a role to play. The plot unfolds over the course of two days, ending with a wrap-up session in which solutions are proposed, fun awards are given out and the truth is revealed. Plenty of time-out for recreation and relaxation is provided. Participants are sent a character profile before the mystery so they'll know who they are to play, how to dress and what props might be required.

Weekend for two includes:
• 2 nights accommodation
• 3 Full country meals a day
• Friday evening reception where clues & the crime scene are revealed
• Individual Murder Mystery clue packets
• Sleuth the day away gathering clues
• Four Course Dinner by Candlelight on Saturday evening
• Sunday morning Awards breakfast

And a weekend full of outdoor recreation! Please call for further information. Group discounts are available for 7 or more room reservations. Call 1-888-606-9463 or 435-462-0282 for pricing
