Wake the Dead: An Immersive Murder Mystery

Wake the Dead: Chapter 3 of our Murder is a Drag series returns on April 5th! Wake the Dead is an immersive murder mystery dinner show with clues to collect and puzzles to solve. Can you solve the murder?

The Culinary Experience: This event takes place in downtown Vancouver inside the Delta Hotels Vancouver Downtown Suites in collaboration with our friends at Stock & Supply restaurant. Tickets include a 2 course dinner put together by Chef Jones, whose dedication to local, seasonal ingredients create exceptional dining experiences.

How It Works
The doors opens 90 minutes before the show starts – plan to arrive early to get your orders in to the servers before the show begins. Your chances of being offered a role in the mystery (a line to say, a prop to use, etc) are also better if you get there early.

This is a collaborative and social experience – you may be seated at a table with other people. You can choose to solve the mystery together as a team or on your own, it’s up to you. If you want to be seated together, it is best to purchase your tickets together and arrive early.

You don’t have to participate, you can just watch the show – if you just want to watch the show just let us know.

You will be seated during this experience – players are seated at tables in a restaurant setting and the mystery will unfold around you. There is a stage area but the cast will also move around the room. The servers at the venue will serve you food/drinks at your table but there will also be a bar set up so you can order drinks yourself. You can get up at any time during the show as long as you are not disrupting the show and there are also two intermissions.

There are puzzles to solve – this is a Vancouver Mysteries experience after all! During the first intermission your table will receive a puzzle to solve – it will reveal an important clue to the mystery!

Costumes are encouraged (but optional) – You are attending a memorial service so wear whatever that means to you. If you have questions about this get in touch. You can decide if you are friends, colleagues, employees or family of the deceased.

Can you pick the murderer? During the 2nd intermission everyone has a chance to vote for the suspect they think is the murderer.
