The Murder Mystery at the Harry Packer Mansion is based on factual events with a creative twist. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to rub elbows with the elite? Now's your chance...
The characters in our scenario of murder and mahem are Packers or intimate friends of the family. The plot revolves around the Packer fortune - literally millions amassed on the Lehigh Valley Railroad - and its hopeful heirs.
We offer the mystery each weekend for up to 11 couples. Midweek we offer Mysteries for larger groups: individual characters will be assigned to volunteers while others work in teams to solve the mystery. The nature of our mystery is such that we can work with groups large and small, and everyone can participate. Test your mettle and match wits in an exclusive mystery of the Victorian era, an age when the sleuth was king!
Price is per couple and each room has 1 queen size bed and a private bath. Price includes lodging on Friday and Saturday, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, a formal dinner Saturday night and of course participation in a dastardly deed! Please, no stiletto heels and no smoking in guest rooms.
A $100.00 non refundable deposit is required to make a reservation and we have a 30 day cancellation policy.
If you cancel within 30 days of your reservation the total cost of the room will be non-refundable.
Guests must be over 18 to participate in the murder mystery weekend.
Weekday Team Building Murder Mysteries are $100 per person plus room cost if applicable.
