Putting the finishing touches on "The Curse of Churchly Castle." So nervous and excited to see this play out next weekend. At this point I'm always terrified that the mystery is either too easy or impossible to solve. 😅 If you're in Pittsburgh, come find out if I managed to find the sweet spot in the middle and support a great cause while you're at it!

Get ready to solve a thrilling murder case while mingling with fellow detectives, at the Murder Mystery Mingle on February 10th, 2024

Starting to brainstorm my next big murder mystery fundraiser game. "Chilled Off at the Undercroft" had a Roaring 20s theme. What do you think the theme for this next mystery should be? Comment with your ideas!

My first ever large-scale mystery was a success. Nothing beats a Roaring Twenties whodunnit. Looking forward to creating another murder mystery fundraiser next year.

Experimenting with a large scale, somewhat free form murder mystery experience. If you're in the Pittsburgh area, come play with us! And support students with dyslexia while you're at it.

Excited to be designing a large scale murder mystery experience for a school fundraiser in Pittsburgh! Nothing like a little 1920s-themed mystery to help beat the winter blues.

What is your favorite mystery movie? What makes it really pop for you? I for one love the unabashed goofiness of Clue and the clever plot and character studies in Knives Out.
