Description
Gather your team of detectives and prepare to solve a mystery unlike any other! Your investigation will take you all across historic downtown McHenry as you interview witnesses, uncover hidden clues, eliminate suspects, and piece together the truth.
Each stop along the way reveals another part of the story through a unique mix of video evidence, live actors, interactive puzzles, and hands-on challenges. Work together, pay attention to every detail, and see if you have what it takes to crack the case before time runs out!
Check-in times are staggered between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Please arrive at the check-in time listed on your ticket. Once your investigation begins, plan for approximately 3.5 to 4 hours to complete the experience.
A family-friendly Kids Scavenger Hunt is also available, allowing younger detectives to follow along with their own top-secret mission while the adults solve the mystery—without revealing the next clue!
