I feel like it almost deserves to be in a category of its own because it combines the dungeon master narrator and combat elements of D&amp;D, escape the room puzzles, the scares of a haunted house and costume dinner party. This should absolutely be the mystery you choose if you are ready to put in the extensive time and effort necessary to prepare.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/charles1.jpg\" alt=\"decor\"><\/p>\n<p>\nCharles read through the reviews and put in 20 hours of preparing over the span of a month to set his event up!  His housemate put in 8 hours building catacombs in the basement!\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em> Totally over the top prep but the screams of both guys and girls when they went through was so worth it. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nSome of the menu highlights include a Butter Beer cocktail that consisted of apple cider spiked with dark rum, cinnamon schnapps, butterscotch schnapps, and a dash of lemon juice.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n*Recipe below*  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bd gallon apple cider<\/li>\n<li>1 cup dark rum<\/li>\n<li>1 cup cinnamon schnapps<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd cup butterscotch schnapps<\/li>\n<li>3 Granny Smith apples, cut into large chunks, threaded onto toothpicks as garnish<\/li>\n<li>1 lemon, juiced 2 tbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> The Butter Beer was ladled out of a hollowed out pumpkin and had dry ice in the bottom so fog came billowing out of the top. Charles put in a ton of work to make sure his guests had a great murder and great food and drink!\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>It was a spectacular centerpiece and tasted delicious! <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nOther items on the list were: Red Wine, Greek Olives, Grapes, Nuts, Dried Fruits, Flat Bread (focaccia), Cheese, Salad, Vegetable Soup, 3 Rotisserie Chickens, Key-lime Tart, and Stewed Pears.
