The cast of the 1970's themed play called Moolah Mystery

How is a Mini Mystery Different from a Full-Length Mystery? The script is short, the cast is small, the staging is simple, and the cost is a bargain! At only $65, this type of mystery makes a great option for first-timers or for quickly putting together a fun evening between larger events. (Memorizing the script does work best, but is not required.)

How Does a Mini Mystery Dinner Event Work?
Your audience enters to find an extremely fun theme of either cupcakes, a birthday party, the 1970’s or possibly chocolate and cows. Appetizers encourage mingling as guests immediately begin working together on a game. Next, dinner is served. After the meal, the cast acts out a play with a fun storyline including entertaining games that involve the crowd. Towards the end, a crime takes place. As they eat dessert, each guest will individually guess who is guilty. Answers are revealed when the cast presents the final scene. Winners receive creative prizes. Everyone who attends can take pictures and walk away with big smiles and great memories. More about Minis
