The historic Mount Vernon Hotel has become the scene of a fictional murder—and it will be up to **our Social Club detectives** to solve the crime! ### You will need to determine: 🔎 **Who was the victim?** 🩸 **Who committed the murder?** 🗝️ **What method was used?** But be warned: the answers will not be handed to you! Your team must search for clues hidden throughout the Museum’s historic rooms, carefully examine the evidence and use **teamwork, critical thinking, strategy and historical knowledge** to solve the mystery before the other detectives do! *** # 🕯️ HOW THE MYSTERY WILL UNFOLD Members will work in **detective teams of no more than four people**. You may register individually and join a team when you arrive, or attend with friends and form your own team—provided that **everyone participating is a registered member of our Social Club and has separately signed up for this event**. As you move through the Museum, volunteers stationed throughout the historic rooms will be available to answer questions and help guide the investigation. Once your team believes it has solved the crime, you will submit your official answer sheet identifying: * The murderer * The victim * The method used to commit the crime Then, everyone will gather in the historic Tavern while the results are revealed! ## 🏆 AND YES—PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED TO OUR WINNING DETECTIVES! Bragging rights are wonderful—but our best sleuths deserve something a little more tangible, too! *** # 🍷 WINE, REFRESHMENTS & SWEETS ARE INCLUDED! After working through the clues, our detectives will gather in the Tavern to compare theories, enjoy refreshments and await the final solution. Our generous spread will include: 🧀 **An assortment of cheeses** 🥨 **Crackers, chips and pretzels** 🥕 **Fresh vegetables** 🥣 **Dips, including vegan selections such as hummus** 🌰 **Nuts** 🍪 **Something sweet to conclude the evening** 🍷 **Red and white wine** 🥤 **Soft drinks** Vegetarian and non-dairy selections will be available, and the refreshments, wine and soft drinks are all included in your event price! **Please note that nuts will be served during this event.** *** # 🏛️ A PRIVATE EVENING IN OLD NEW YORK This is not an ordinary museum tour. It is an immersive private experience combining New York City history, a fictional 1820s murder, detective work, friendly competition, wine, food and the wonderfully atmospheric surroundings of the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum. The mystery itself lasts approximately **90 minutes**, followed by refreshments, conversation and the announcement of our successful detectives. Members should arrive at **6:30 PM**. The investigation will begin as close to **6:45 PM** as possible, so please be prompt! *** # 💰 AND THE COST IS ONLY $25 PER MEMBER! Your admission includes: ✅ Our exclusive 1820s Murder Mystery experience ✅ Access to the Museum’s historic rooms during the investigation ✅ A complete evening of clues, strategy and team competition ✅ Cheese, crackers, dips, vegetables, snacks and sweets ✅ Red and white wine ✅ Soft drinks ✅ Prizes for our winning detectives ✅ A private Social Club evening inside one of New York City’s most fascinating historic buildings ## WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BARGAIN FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDED! *** # 🎟️ ONLY 20 MEMBERS MAY PARTICIPATE! Because teams are limited to four detectives and the historic rooms cannot comfortably accommodate a large crowd, attendance is **strictly limited to 20 Social Club members**. Every attendee must be a registered member of the **New York City Art, Film, Museum, Social Club** and must personally register for the event. A member may not bring an unregistered or nonmember guest. Once all 20 places have been claimed, the investigation is closed! *** ## 🕵️ DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SOLVE THE CRIME? Gather the evidence. Question everything. Trust your instincts. And remember… **The murderer may be closer than you think.** I cannot wait to share this wonderfully unusual evening with all of you!
