The Perfect Summer Mystery Experience
When the summer heat in Scottsdale makes outdoor adventures feel a little less appealing, we have the perfect indoor solution that still delivers plenty of excitement and laughter. We’re excited to introduce our newest Clues & Cocktails tabletop mystery: European Belle Murders — affectionately known as “Scottsdale’s most silly whodunit.”
Picture yourself stepping into the glamorous world of a 1930s luxury train called the European Belle. Suspicious “accidents” keep happening and danger seems to lurk around every corner. You and your friends will slip into character, trade alibis, uncover secrets, and work together to solve the mystery before the night ends. It’s playful, lighthearted, and full of clever clues — perfect for true puzzle lovers who enjoy a good laugh along the way.
This hosted experience is designed for groups of 4–14 people and lasts about 100 minutes. The difficulty level is moderate, making it enjoyable whether you’re a first-time mystery player or a seasoned sleuth. Tickets are $49 per person (food and drinks not included), and it’s strictly for ages 21+.
What Your Evening Will Feel Like
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be guided by a dedicated host known as The Inspector. He participates in the story but is not a suspect, so you never have to wonder if he’s hiding something! The victim is not one of your guests, which means everyone stays fully involved from beginning to end. The cast includes a balanced mix of male, female, and flexible-gender roles. Everything — the setup, rules, and how the mystery unfolds — is clearly explained as you go, so no one feels lost.
One of the best parts? You get to enjoy dinner or appetizers while solving the case. Please plan to enjoy a meal during the hours of 11 AM – 2 PM and 5–7 PM. For 2–4 PM events, cocktails and appetizer orders are welcome.
