Harrison House Murder Mystery

The time has arrived for Drew Beasley to inaugurate the much-anticipated annual celebration at the Harrison House. The air is thick with excitement as Pandora City's VIPs prepare to rub shoulders with acquaintances, allies, and the inevitable rivals at this grand event.

As CFO of the Harrison House, Drew Beasley firmly believes in fostering a sense of community to sustain the historic bed & breakfast. However, maintaining peace among Pandora City's townspeople under one roof is proving to be a challenging endeavor. In an effort to keep spirits high and conflicts low, Drew and the Harrison House staff have pulled out all the stops this year, focusing on engaging party activities, a mouthwatering menu, and lively music to captivate the guests' attention.

This year's event is critical; it could very well be their final opportunity to showcase the Harrison House's charm and importance, especially as the estate's heir grows increasingly discontent with its current management. The staff is on a mission to demonstrate the indispensable role of the annual bash in ensuring the venue's continued relevance and success. After all, without this festive reminder, the legacy of the Harrison House, a cornerstone of Pandora City for over a century, risks fading from public memory.
