Jazz, Lies, & Alibies - a 1920s Murder Mystery Fundraising Gala hosted by Clear Lake Homes

Jazz, Lies & Alibies

A 1920s Murder Mystery Fundraising Gala

The champagne is chilled. The music is playing. The guest list is set. There’s just one problem: by the end of the night, three guests will be dead.

On Thursday, October 29, step into the Roaring Twenties at Clear Lake Homes for an evening of glamour, intrigue, cocktails, and murder. For one unforgettable night, our beautiful dining room will become a world of secret alliances, hidden motives, scandalous secrets, and suspects around every table.

Upon check in, each guest will receive their very own character card. Spend the evening mingling, examining evidence, making deals, and deciding who you can trust. No acting experience or reading from scripts required, just laughs and a few dramatic murders.

The murder mystery will be hosted by Murders Inc, the top-selling Murder Mystery Party shop on Etsy, with more than 25,000 sales and thousands of 5-star reviews. Guests can choose between two different levels of character involvement:

• VIP roles will include key players that may be a suspect, a murder victim, or even the murderer themselves. They will have names, biographies, things to share, and secrets to hide. VIPs will also receive a free drink ticket and some special goodies. (Limit 30)

• General Admission guests still have an active, yet less involved, role. They may be a flapper, a gangster, or a police officer. They will mingle, examine evidence, and make their guesses about whodunit at the end of the event.

• Interested in purchasing a Table? Tables will be available for 6 or 8 attendees. A Table purchase for 6 will automatically include 1 VIP role, a Table purchaser for 8 will automatically include 2 VIP roles.

Your evening will include a filet mignon plated dinner, signature cocktails, and a themed photo booth where you can capture the night in true Roaring Twenties style. Guests can also participate in our silent auction featuring local businesses, experiences, and unique items.

We're excited to introduce our inaugural fundraising gala for Clear Lake Homes, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has been serving seniors since 1962. Proceeds from the evening will support our mission of keeping retirement living affordable and continuing to make meaningful improvements to the campus our residents call home.

Get dressed to the nines in your favorite 1920s-inspired attire. Think pearls, tuxedos, sequins, feathers, fedoras, and old-fashioned glamour. Come ready to raise a glass, meet someone new, solve a murder, and potentially leave with an auction prize. Be warned, however, not everyone will make it out alive ??
