October 31st, 2026 is our last date for our interactive murder mystery walking tour begins outside the majestic, Michigan Central Station.

Here, amidst the whispers of grand ambition, lies our victim: Arthur Penderghast, a renowned historian and obsessive collector of local lore. Penderghast was found sprawled on the grass in front of Michigan Central Station, a cryptic map clutched in his lifeless hand, and a single, crimson stain blooming on his perfectly tailored corduroy jacket. You, dear participants, are the detectives. Armed with your wits and this interactive experience, you'll follow Penderghast's last known route, piecing together the fragments of his final hours.

YOU are the detectives. Follow Penderghast’s final footsteps, question suspects, crack riddles, and uncover clues while enjoying Corktown’s legendary food & drink along the way.
🍖 Stops include:
🔥 Slows BBQ – BBQ samples + Redrum beverage
🍺 Corktown Tavern – A classic pub and a Guinness (or non-alcoholic beverage)
🥃 McShane's Irish Pub – Irish egg roll + Jameson wh***ey drink
🍨 Momento Gelato – A sweet finish with a scoop of Gelato… or was it poisoned?
🎭 Expect costumed characters, physical evidence, secret histories, and twists hiding in plain sight. Only the sharpest minds will decipher the map and reveal the killer.

🔐 THE DOOR WAS LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE… 🔐 One hundred years after Harry Houdini’s death in Detroit, a long-lost letter has suddenly resurfaced. The historian who discovered it planned to unveil its contents on Halloween night—but before the secret could be revealed, the historian was discovered dead inside a locked room.

There was no sign of forced entry.
No obvious escape route.
And the letter had disappeared.

Was it murder? An impossible escape? Or one final Houdini illusion?

On October 31, you’ll follow the clues through downtown Detroit, interrogate four suspicious characters and decide who is telling the truth before the dramatic final reveal at the Museum of Illusions.

Along the way, enjoy:
