We found your murderer Jimmy!
We really enjoyed this adventure. At first i thought it would not take the full 120 minutes but it did! It was fun to pay attention to the details around Gastown that normally we would not notice. We had dim sum nearby first then began the game. The clues were well presented but pay attention to the small details in these clues!

Thanks so much for the review!

Murder Is A Drag - Total fun!
We went as a party of 5 to this special event in Vancouver, and had a ball. The premise was attending a memorial service for someone who died, and as it played out, it was found to be a murder. It was all performed by drag performers, and it was totally engaging , interesting and fun. I was done while enjoying a dinner and kept up a good pace, while still allowing you to enjoy your meal. God job - we would definitely do it again!
