Celebrate July 4th with a Star-Spangled Murder Mystery on the Virginia Truckee Railroad

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. - All aboard the Star-Spangled Murder Mystery Train for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience on the 4th of July!  Enjoy libations and appetizers served on board the train while a live murder mystery show is played out during your round trip from the historic Virginia City Depot to Gold Hill and back. 

How the Murder Mystery works:

• Your hosts at Funtime Theater will provide you with clues to help you solve the murder. These could be delivered through various methods, such as acting out scenes, providing written clues, or even staging murder weapon “accidents.”

• You’ll have to use your detective skills to piece together who did it. This might involve collaborating with other guests, examining the crime scene, and paying close attention to the clues provided.

• At the end of the evening, the hosts will work with the detectives to solve the crime and identify the culprit.

Tickets are available at 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. for $56 per person at virginiatruckee.com. Can’t make this one? No worries, they are planning on more special train rides. Sign up to get on the email list at https://www.virginiatruckee.com/ for an updated schedule.
