Don't miss out on a night of murder, mystery, and mayhem! Join us on July 18th for a summer murder mystery event you won't soon forget. Limited tickets are available, but once they're gone, they're GONE!

🏛️ Terror in a Toga
📆 July 18th at 6pm
📍 Silver Fountain Inn & Tea Parlor

An evening of gladiator warfare and celebration is planned for all of Rome to enjoy. At the heart of the excitement sits Felix Festus, a lanista looking to win the public favor – and in doing so, a Senate seat – with the donation of his gladiators for exhibition. While no lives will be taken in the ring; honor, pride and the grand champion title are all at stake in the exhibition.

Although lives will be spared in the arena, the same will not hold true at the festivities.

One Roman will take their last breath at the party and it will be up to you to search out the guilty from the guileful.

You'll enjoy a four-course dinner with the other players and at some point, during night, someone will meet their demise and the remaining characters will become the sleuths and uncover who the murderer is. After the show is over, stay tuned for awards and prizes, and continue building new friendships with the other guests.

Spots are limited! Grab your friends and sign up to take part in a Silver Fountain Inn & Tea Parlor Murder Mystery! 🎟️ Grab your dinner & game ticket today at silverfountainstore.com.

Want to stay the night, we have rooms available for our Murder Mystery weekends. Please call us to book your room at 603-750-4200. For more information about our Murder Mystery Weekends, visit us at silverfountain.com.
