Murder Mystery Weekend Themes

Congress Hall’s Murder Mystery Weekends offer unique thrills with distinct seasonal themes every time, each promising captivating storytelling, twists, and immersive entertainment.

You're invited to time-travel to 1890, straight to Congress Hall for the spooky nuptials of your long-lost cousin Frankie Alucard and Jane Dough, the mysterious gal from the mortal side of the tracks. Rub elbows with Count Alucard, his delightfully eccentric wife Countess Elsa, and Frankie's brother, Jeckyl—or is it Hyde?—at this cursed celebration. Keep an eye on Renfield the undead caterer and Vampira, Jane's spell-casting, secret-spilling sister. This hellish match includes not one, not two, but three murders! But don't let that scare you away. Dress up, eat, dance, and play detective in this supernatural whodunit.

Mystery Weekend Scavenger Hunt Extravaganza!

As a special treat, you'll receive a treasure map leading you on a thrilling escapade through Congress Hall. Decode the clues to uncover a key that once jingled in the pocket of Victorian era employee Annie Wright. Key or no key, Annie herself might just pop in for a ghostly hello on Saturday. Enter if you dare!
