Better Than Dinner and a Movie

A murder mystery is one of the most popular date night and group night activities in Jacksonville. Instead of sitting across a table, you and your partner (or your whole crew) work a case together: shared adrenaline, competing theories, and a story you will retell for years. Play in the evening, pause for drinks, and accuse each other over dessert.
