A murder. A mystery. And a room full of very determined detectives! 🔎🕵️‍♀️

What a night!

Our Halloween celebrations continued well into the evening with our Murder Mystery Night, and what a fantastic way to wrap up our first Halloween at Olinda Community House!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, dressed the part, put their detective skills to the test and worked together to uncover the secrets of Delphago Island.

With evidence to examine, suspects to investigate and plenty of twists and turns along the way, our teams were tasked with uncovering the who, how and why behind the mysterious death of Jane Doe.

We loved seeing everyone get so involved, sharing theories, debating clues and having a laugh along the way.

A massive thank you to our wonderful volunteers and everyone who helped make the night possible.

🔎 CAUGHT THE DETECTIVE BUG?

The mystery doesn’t have to end here!

If you enjoyed putting your detective skills to the test, why not join our new Cold Case Club at Olinda Community House?

Meeting on the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 pm, it’s another opportunity to get together with fellow amateur sleuths, investigate mysteries and put your problem-solving skills to work!

Head to www.och.org.au to register your interest and join the club!

We had an absolute blast hosting our Murder Mystery Night and are already looking forward to bringing more mystery, fun and community connection to Olinda Community House next year!

💬 Did you join us? We’d love to hear what you thought! Would you come along to another Murder Mystery Night? Have ideas for future events?

The costumes. The creativity. The cutest little monsters! 🎃👻

We just had to share a few snaps of just some of the incredible trick-or-treaters who visited Olinda Community House on Halloween!

From tiny witches and superheroes to some seriously spooky characters, we loved seeing so many families getting into the Halloween spirit.

It was wonderful to see our community come together, with familiar faces, new visitors and families exploring the Hills over the long weekend all joining in the fun.

Thank you for making our very first Halloween celebration such a memorable one. We loved every minute and can’t wait to welcome you back next year!

And because we’re already dreaming up ideas for Halloween 2027, we’d love to hear yours!
