A real-life Cluedo experience is coming to Canberra!

Posted on 11 April, 2023

A missing will, a dead relative, and a scheming family: welcome to the Bancroft Manor. It’s time to round up the Scooby gang because jinkies we have a mystery for you!

Coming to Tuggeranong Homestead for the first time, true crime and events tour group Dark Stories have cooked up an intimate evening of scandals, betrayal, and murder, inviting participants to accompany Detective Van Outen as he works to discover who murdered Henrik Bancroft.

That’s right—it’s time to enter your Veronica Mars era and solve this Agatha Christies-style mystery!

Murder by Invitation is an interactive theatre experience where attendees will get to choose their adventure. In this unique experience you will wander through the manor with the eccentric and charming Detective Pierre Van Outen who is completely mystified by the turn of events. As actors and actresses adhere to their witty, creative scripts they will also have to improvise as you make your choices, and twist the tale. Just make sure to choose carefully as you puzzle out the clues and work quickly to solve the crime in time, before more fall victim to the murderer lurking the halls of Tuggeranong Homestead.

And with three sessions a day running from Friday 14 until Sunday 16 April (some of which include a drink on arrival, canapes, and a post-show drink), old money and murder, we’ll see you there?
