Who Killed Valerie Valentine
2026-02-14 19:00 - 22:00 UTC
Step into the spotlight of intrigue this Valentine’s Day at Who Killed Valerie Valentine?, an immersive murder mystery dinner experience where love meets suspense.
The evening begins with a gourmet family-style dinner, but the romance is soon interrupted by a shocking crime: Valerie Valentine, the glamorous winner of the Miss Theater World pageant, has been found dead backstage at the historic Bow & Arrow Theatre.
You, the audience, are sworn in as the jury. Presiding over the case is the eccentric Judge Julius Honeybucket, as rival attorneys Hilary Heartthrob and Ricardo Rosabud battle it out in a dramatic courtroom trial. With each colorful witness—from bitter stage rivals to mysterious stagehands—new secrets emerge. Was it jealousy? Revenge? A love affair gone wrong?
After the testimonies, the trial spills into the audience as the cast mingles with guests, dropping clues and defending their innocence. You’ll discuss, deliberate, and ultimately cast your vote for who you believe committed the crime.
Will justice be served? Will you uncover the truth? Find out in a thrilling finale that ends with a shocking confession no one saw coming.
