Death Takes a Cruise
Pack your costume, grab your party hat, and step aboard our venerable riverboat, The Mississippi Mistress, as we prepare to set sail down the "Big Muddy" for New Orleans and Mardi Gras! Woooo-hooo! The mighty Captain "Crawdaddy" Cretin will help you navigate the shoals, sand bars, (and wet bars), while Scooter, the Porter, and your Cruise Director, Lucy Belle Juniper, see to your comfort and entertainment. Watch out for the other passengers (They look pretty suspicious). Someone might not make it to the "Big Easy" alive.

(costume not required or expected, just part of the 'blurb'!)

How it works...
Seating is at 7pm. Tables are set up for groups of 6 or 8 up to about 12 people.   If you are a smaller group you may be seated with other guests.   Being in a group setting makes the event more interesting as you share clues etc. 

When you are seated the first course will be on the table… salad & fresh breads served with tapenade, hummus & butter. The cast is mingling with the guests, in character, and you are free to ask them questions, check for clues at your table or other tables. About 20 minutes in… the first act begins.

Following the first act we serve dinner which is presented family style with platters of roast beef, pan roast chicken, whipped potatoes, rice pilaf & pasta with marinara, vegetables and shredded parmesan. Refills are offered. Then the next act starts.

At the conclusion of the second act we serve dessert, our flourless chocolate cake 'Death by Chocolate' with raspberry sauce. The shows conclusion follows with awards for best/worst picks on who-done-it. The entire event lasts just less than 3 hours. It's a ton of fun and best enjoyed with a group of people.

Tickets * are available by calling the castle at 315-823-3000.
