Christmas Capers: A Gatsby Murder Mystery

  • Theatre
  • Entertainment

One glamorous hotel. One deadly Christmas party. And a killer hiding among the guests.
Step into the Roaring Twenties at Stamford Plaza Melbourne, where Gatsby-inspired glamour meets festive intrigue in a live hosted Christmas murder mystery. Behind the champagne bubbles and glittering celebrations, a scandal is unfolding. A guest has been found dead, secrets are spilling and everyone is a suspect.

Leave the ordinary behind. Mingle with mysterious socialites, charming playboys and questionable party guests as the story unfolds around you. Follow the clues, uncover scandalous secrets and put your detective instincts to the test. Be careful who you trust, because in a room full of glamour and deception, the killer may be standing right beside you.

Will you solve the mystery before the night is over?
