ABOUT THIS EVENT

On Friday, November 1, at 6 p.m., step into a scene straight out of a noir novel in the Lake Shore Room, where the view of Ford Cove is only matched by the intrigue of our murder mystery! This evening of whodunits and plot twists is inspired by the 1932 murder mystery party hosted by Eleanor and Edsel Ford—because great mysteries never go out of style!

Savor a dinner that’s to die for and enjoy drinks that might just leave you feeling a bit more “loose-lipped” than usual—perfect for solving the case! Join one of thirteen teams of eight in cracking the mystery, or opt for seating for two, four, or six, and let us pair you with fellow detectives. After all, even the sharpest sleuths need a little help from their friends!

With echoes of Eleanor and Edsel’s legendary soirée that once had the Detroit Free Press buzzing, this event will surely be a killer night out. Don’t miss your chance to solve the mystery before it’s history!
