The Death of Lady Winterbrooke: An Interactive "Whodunit" Murder Mystery (inspired by Agatha Christie) ~ with Brian Hurwitz

Get ready to take on the role of detective in this exciting, interactive “whodunit” event created by Brian Hurwitz and inspired by the queen of murder mysteries herself, Agatha Christie.

On a sprawling country estate in the English countryside, family and friends have gathered to celebrate the 75th birthday of Lady Winterbrooke. Yet it's not long before the festivities are overshadowed by rivalries and rumors that ultimately lead to the murder of Lady Winterbrooke.

In this interactive 'whodunit,' you will be challenged to find clues, establish motives, assess alibis and identify a murderer. Participation in the investigation offers Agatha Christie fans an opportunity to follow in Hercule Poirot's footsteps or invoke their inner Miss Marple by solving a crime few could crack. And by playing an active part in the case, you will gain a deeper understanding of Christie's 'whodunit' formula and her approach to creating unforgettable characters.

*No previous experience with Agatha Christie is necessary.
