Where everyone’s guilty until proven innocent.

Word on the street is that you're not just any detective...

You're the one with a mind sharp enough to unravel the toughest of mysteries. Here's the deal: something sinister has gone down, and we're banking on your expertise to crack this enigma.

Your case: Who Framed Mama Lane?

January 9th thru March 30th 2025

Should you choose to accept this case…

  • Mama Lane, the proud owner of Stayenur Lanes, has always been a pillar of the Murder Creek community. But this afternoon, her world came crashing down when the local health inspector was found dead in her bowling alley’s office.

    The evidence? Thin.

     The alibi? Rock solid — Security footage shows Mama Lane in her snack bar the entire time.

     Despite this, she’s been arrested for the murder. Refusing to go down without a fight, Mama Lane strikes a deal with detectives: they’ll investigate further—aboard her annual customer appreciation cruise down Murder Creek.

     Join a boat full of suspects, secrets, and strikes of drama as the detectives piece together the clues. Could the killer be among Mama Lane’s loyal patrons? Will her innocence be proven before the boat docks? Or is someone out to ensure that Mama Lane never sets foot in Stayenur Lanes again?

     Put on your detective hat… but don’t forget to build your alibi too, because, in Murder Creek, everyone is guilty until proven innocent!

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

    Mama Lane

    …is a tough, no-nonsense businesswoman who built her bowling alley from the ground up. Fiercely independent, she worked her way up from a low-level job in the industry, saving every penny until she could purchase the alley. Known for her blunt and demanding demeanor, Mama Lane values hard work and self-sufficiency, expecting the same from those around her.

    Bob Crushit

    …is Mama Lane’s loyal but eccentric assistant at the bowling alley. Known for his strong work ethic and quirky personality, he’s been a dedicated employee for years. Despite his reliability, Bob has always felt underappreciated by Mama Lane, and some suspect he may harbor hidden resentment.

    Cameron “Guttermouth” Dunlap

    ..is the loudmouth sports commentator for the local bowling circuit and has always been a polarizing figure. Known for their brash personality and sharp wit, Cameron also had a side gig promoting Mama Lane’s bowling alley. However, their partnership turned sour when Mama accused Cameron of pocketing advertising funds. Adding to the intrigue, Cameron was spotted arguing with health inspector Leo Crenshaw just days before the murder.

    Morgan Glass

    …is studying public health and has been shadowing health inspector Leo Crenshaw to gain experience in the field. However, the relationship with Leo was far from smooth and Morgan grew resentful of Leo's strict and overbearing nature despite his role as mentor.

  • "Such a fun experience! Really people should do this just for the hell of it or for a first date kinda thing. Or anniversary or birthday or whatever. Jon and crew and all the actors are so fun and REALLY good at their craft! There's a bar on board, they improvise the story and it's just fun for the whole family. Best way to spend a couple of hours. Plus you get to see lots of the state docks etc. go go go go!"

  • "My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with a night out to solve a murder mystery and we had such a great time!! The actors were hilarious, the other patrons weren't scared to participate and I think everyone on the boat had a fantastic night. It's improv so no two shows will be the same, you should go! The food was actually pretty tasty and flavorful and the actual workers of the Perdido Queen were very attentive, had quick service and nice friendly attitudes. My husband and I have stilll been cracking up about some of the things people said or did and I will definitely make sure we go again!!"
