🚨BREAKING NEWS! 🚨

Noted bootleg w**e makers Bunny and Clyde have invited their closest friends and enemies to join them for an evening of interactive fun. Rumor has it that Clyde may meet his demise during the course of the evening. The murderer could even be the person sitting beside you! Will the bumbling French detective Inspector Cleauseau be the first to solve the crime, or will you?

Join us, on November 19th at 6:00pm for drinks, dinner, and a little bit of mystery!
