Perdido Queen Dinner Cruises

Located on the Mobile River directly behind the Mobile Convention Center.

  • You’ve been invited to a lavish dinner where Jonathan Spencer, a celebrated playwright, plans to unveil his latest masterpiece destined for Broadway. The evening’s guest list includes a room full of potential investors, the director, the lead actor and actress, and the stage manager who also serves as Jonathan’s loyal personal assistant. But not all is as it seems; rehearsals have been plagued with issues, and tensions simmer beneath the polished surface.

    As the night unfolds, murder takes center stage.

    It’s going to be up to you to uncover the killer. Each guest harbors secrets, and in Murder Creek, everyone is guilty until proven innocent. Will you solve the crime and clear your name before the final curtain falls?

    Dive into the intrigue and let the investigation begin!

  • We believe there may be a couple more, but we’ve identified the following suspicious characters:

    Samuel "Sammy" Matthews

    …is a dynamic and passionate director whose enthusiasm for the arts makes him a captivating and influential figure in the theater world. His eccentricities and fervor for his work create a vivid and compelling character, both on and off the stage.

    Veronica "Vera" Blake

    …is a charismatic and charming lead actress whose passion for her craft and ability to connect with people make her a beloved figure in the theater world. Her elegance, warmth, and dedication to both her career and her humanitarian efforts create a multifaceted and compelling character, well-suited to the spotlight she naturally inhabits.

    Alanander "Alan" Turner

    …is a confident and charming lead actor whose magnetic presence and dedication to his craft make him a standout figure in the theater world. His flirtatious and playful nature, combined with his professional rigor and genuine passion for acting, create a complex and compelling character both on and off the stage.

    "Em" Johnson

    …is an efficient and slightly stressed stage manager and personal assistant whose organizational skills and dedication make them an indispensable part of the theater production. Their calmness under pressure, coupled with their meticulous attention to detail, ensures that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Em’s approachable nature and dry sense of humor make them a beloved figure among the cast and crew, despite their occasionally overwhelmed appearance.

Before heading to Murder Creek...

Here’s everything else you’re going to need to know in solving this case.

  • Absolutely. Because our shows are not scripted, our improvisers tailor each show to the audience at hand. We love to see families and friends celebrating together so we don’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

  • Not if you don’t want to… but we hope you do! We’re going to ask you to leave all your cares, worries and troubles on the dock. When you enter the boat, you will become a member of the town of Murder Creek. If you are uncomfortable in public participation, please tell your server or any actor and we’ll make sure you still have a good time without being in the spotlight.

  • There is plenty of parking in downtown Mobile… some free, and some paid. If you want to park right next to the Perdido Queen, head directly to The Mobile Convention Center and park in the garage underneath (enter at the foot of Dauphin Street.) PLEASE NOTE: Parking charges may apply if you choose this option.
