What makes Thayer's Mysteries so special? 

  • Thayer's Murder Mystery dinners are interactive.

  • You become someone else for the night!

  • Everyone attending the Murder Mystery dinner becomes either a main or supporting character. 

  • There are No lines to remember.

  • Yes, costumes are necessary, they are half the fun!  Simply rummage thru your closet and find that old thing you have been meaning to get rid of.  It will work fine! 

  • Everyone is a suspect!

  • You could be the dirty dog, killer... but, just because you are, don't assume you are safe... we have been known to knock off a killer now and again!...

  • Sharon began doing Murder Mystery dinners in 1993 and she has the honor of being voted one of the top three B&B's in the entire USA that offer Murder Mystery dinners!

How do Thayer's Murder Mysteries work?

  • Thayer's Scheduled Murder Mystery Dinners are offered about once a month on selected Saturday Nights - see the Activities Calendar for dates

  • Murder Mystery Dinners begin at 6:35pm and last about 3 hours

  • Prior to the murder mystery dinner, 8 to 10 days prior to your event, we mail (via USPS) each person participating in the murder mystery, an information packet (A Personal & Confidential Character Profile) that includes a full character description & costume ideas. 

  • Guests tell us that the fun actually starts when you receive your Murder Mystery Dinner Character information in the mail

  • When making Murder Mystery Dinner arrangements for others, we must have everyone's names and addresses. 

  • Murder Mystery Dinner Characters are not gender specific.

  • You may tell each other who your character is but, DO NOT tell anyone what your character knows until you get to the mystery.

  • PLEASE DO NOT read anyone else's character profile. 

  • You become your 'character' when you put on your name tag

  • You have information about your character and others that needs to be shared with other participants during the Murder Mystery Dinner.  

  • so, yes, all the while dinner is going on so is the Murder Mystery! and... Yes, you will be 'knocking someone off' maybe even more than one person! You could be the killer or you just might be killed or both! 

  • After the dastardly deed has been done, sometime during the evening, it's time to solve the Mystery and find the killer. 

  • Thayer's Murder Mysteries are designed to have fun! please, don't get excited about mistakes. Our Murder Mysteries are written so that when mistakes happen- it's OK.
