MURDER AT 30,000 MYSTERY

OUR CLASSIC MURDER MYSTERY!

Welcome aboard… and buckle up. Aivry Stone has been murdered mid-flight, and the only way to uncover the truth is to work the evidence — one lock at a time.

Murder at 30,000 Feet is an escape-room-style murder mystery experience where your table becomes the investigation. You’ll solve puzzles, uncover clues, and open a series of locks as the story unfolds. Your Puzzle Rides host facilitates the entire experience, keeps your group moving, and guides you through the big reveals.

This Clues & Cocktails experience is held at One Handsome Bastard, a craft distillery known for house-made gin and vodka and a craft kitchen menu. Choose an indoor table or enjoy the patio — either way, you’ll be solving a murder with a drink in hand.

Group size note:

  • 1–6 guests: you’ll play as one team.

  • 7+ guests: you’ll be split into two smaller teams running the experience side-by-side for better flow and more hands-on solving.

Important details:

  • Food and beverages are not included (purchased separately from One Handsome Bastard)

  • Best for 4–12 guests, but up to 14 is allowed.

  • Arrive a few minutes early to order before the experience begins

The European Belle Murder

European Belle Murders is a glamorous yet dramatically silly 1930s whodunnit set aboard the luxury train the European Belle—where suspicious “accidents” and dangerous deeds are piling up fast. Your group will step into character, trade alibis, uncover secrets, and follow the clues to expose the killer before the night is over.

This is a hosted, facilitator-led Clues & Cocktails experience designed for 4-14 players. The cast includes an equal mix of roles (male, female, and flexible-gender characters), plus a dedicated host role—The Inspector—who guides the evening as a participant (and is not a suspect). The victim is not one of your guests, but the murderer may very well be one of you!  The full setup and flow are clearly explained during the experience.  BONUS:  Feel free to order food while enjoying this event!

 Difficulty Level: Moderate

Time: Up to 100 minutes

We had an AMAZING time! Riding around Old Scottsdale on golf carts, having drinks at each bar and figuring out puzzles, what could be better than that? I would recommend this to everyone! Greg was our sober tour guide for the adventure, and he did an amazing job!! – Cheyenne C.
