The event includes a full course dinner and a murder mystery show, with customers and professional actors participating.
"The show is good old-fashioned fun," the event's producer, Trevor Jenkins, says in a press release. "Clues, a body, intriguing tidbits of who, what, where and when will entice the sleuthing abilities in every watcher."

Rajeev Bagga and a team of Lower Mainland students recently won first place and $25,000 at an international business plan competition in Atlanta after participating in the TYE Business Mentorship Program.
Rajeev's cousin Rattan Bagga, CEO of Burnaby-based New World Natural Foods Inc., started the program in 2011 with Amit Sandhu, CEO of the Ampri Group of Companies. Both co-chaired the program this year.
The students won the competition with a plan for spray-on casts for broken bones.
They donated $5,000 from their winnings to the B.C. Children's Hospital and are asking that others donate as well through the group's GenAid fundraising page, to bring the total amount donated to $15,000.
