Murder on the High Seas
Murder on the Horn(b)y Queen
Overview
🚢 Welcome Aboard the Horn(b)y Queen
Welcome aboard the Horn(b)y Queen, a brand-new cruise ship setting sail on her maiden voyage… and heading straight into scandal.
Inspired by The Love Boat and drenched in 80s flair, Murder on the Horn(b)y Queen is a fully immersive murder mystery dinner experience where nothing goes according to plan. The ship’s crew has a long, messy history—past romances, bitter rivalries, old grudges, and secrets that were never meant to surface. Before the night is over, one of them will be murdered.
🎭 The Twist
This is improv theatre—the cast does not know who the murderer is. Only the killer knows their role.
The mystery unfolds live, in real time, shaped by interactions between guests and crew.
🕵️ Your Role: Passenger & Detective
Guests play passengers aboard the cruise, free to move around the space, talk to characters, eavesdrop on conversations, form alliances, and piece together clues as the night progresses.
You may solve the mystery.
You may accuse the wrong person.
You may discover you were sitting beside the killer all along.
🍽️ Dinner at Sea
Dinner is served throughout the evening and includes a three-course meal: a starter, your choice of entrée, and dessert (TBA).
Between courses, you’ll have time to leave your table, mingle, interrogate suspects, and compare notes with fellow passengers. The pacing allows the story to unfold naturally, keeping you fully immersed in the mystery.
The bar will be open throughout the evening for guests to purchase drinks.
✨ Dress the Part
Costumes are highly encouraged (think 80s cruise glamour, drama, and chaos), and guests are welcome to create their own passenger personas — but participation at your comfort level is always welcome.
🎟️ Tickets & Boarding Information
All passengers must secure their passage before departure.
