Cunningham Heirs & Hazards: A Murder Mystery Dinner at the Lyman Homestead

It’s Sleuthing Season at Lyman Orchards!

Step inside the storied halls of the historic Lyman Homestead and help unravel Cunningham Heirs & Hazards, a thrilling, interactive "whodunit" where every guest plays a role in cracking the case. Join us for an evening of dining, detective work, and deliciously dramatic twists.

The Experience:

Become a character in a live-action game of Clue as you and your team of fellow investigators journey from room to room, uncovering clues, questioning suspects, and piecing together the truth behind a bewildering murder mystery. 

The Story:

Alfred Cunningham once insisted there were no heirs... and yet, here you are – invited to a formal dinner to meet the "next generation" and witness the future of the Cunningham estate being decided. The guest list is full of surprise connections, suspicious intentions, and a few people who seem a little too eager to claim the legacy.

The dinner bell rings promptly at 6:30 PM with mingling in the Homestead dining room - until the night takes a sharp, murderous turn.

The Details:

  • Once tickets are purchased, each person in your group will be assigned a character for the event.
  • Specific character details will be emailed to each person two weeks prior to the event date. Tickets purchased after that two week period will receive their character within 3 days.
  • This is a fully interactive, role-playing evening. Embrace your character, dress the part, bring a prop, and truly immerse yourself in the story! (Please don't bring any food or drinks as your prop!)
