Grand Hotel – Spring Murder Mystery Weekend – May 3 – 5, 2024

Spring Murder Mystery Weekend

Consider yourself warned: Not everything is how it seems at Grand Hotel during the spring Murder Mystery Weekend. It’s 1927 and everything is right as rain! The birds are chirping, the sun is shining! However, the wedding bells aren’t ringing for this not-so-happy couple when a member of the wedding party is murdered! With a raging bridezilla and an unenthused groom on the scene, it may be happily never after in this nuptial nightmare. Trade clues with your guests and help the hapless couple figure out whodunnit so they can say I do before the wedding hour passes them by!

1927 wedding attire is encouraged.

 

Package Includes:

  • Grand Hotel Accommodations
  • Breakfast and dinner daily
  • All resort amenities
  • Friday evening Murder Mystery Welcome Reception
  • Murder Mystery activities and entertainment including interactive Crime Scene Investigations on Saturday afternoon and evening
  • Sunday morning “Who Done It” closing session
  • Special discount on ferry tickets

This Murder Mystery Weekend package is also available to book by calling Grand Hotel Reservations at 1-800-334-7263.

About the Murder Mystery Weekend

This invite comes from somebody with murder on their mind. Your invitation promises plenty of excitement and intrigue. However, beyond the glitz and glamor of this event lies something more sinister.

You and your party play the detective in this interactive game of mystery and murder behind the closed doors of Grand Hotel. Investigate the scene of the crime, interrogate suspects, and solve a murder. This one-of-a-kind event promises to be nothing short of a “Grand” ol’ time.

Upon check-in, receive your first packet of information and clues. Friday is the kick-off performance, which sets the tone of events and when the first murder takes place. On Saturday, there is a brief gathering with the Detective, who explains the hunt for clues. (This also allows you some time on your own to enjoy the beauty of Mackinac Island and Grand Hotel.)

Come back on Saturday afternoon, when Act II is performed and another murder takes place. The evening concludes with three interactive mysteries, where guests in different groups will be rotated into the mystery experiences. Sunday morning the mystery is solved!
