Queen Creek Library
Event Description
EVENT FULL - No Walk In Characters Available
The Greatest Show on Earth is a traveling circus that has arrived in town! Max A. Million's hosting a debut party for the first funfair in the small town of Deadwood Valley, but is having a tough time bringing this group of misfits together. Scandals are brewing behind every corner! Max has made it mandatory for employees to attend this gathering under the Big Top, so you don't have a choice! Dust off your best party attire and see where the night goes.
Are you the murderer? Who will be the victim? Will you interpret the clues to solve the mystery? Come in character (and costume for more fun) to find out! Interact to solve the mystery while enjoying food and games.
To play a character you must register and include email at registration—this is how you will be contacted, one week in advance, with your character assignment and other pre-game information!
Content Warning: Murder (many characters in this story have joined the circus to run away from a past crime)

Notes & Requirements
Registration and commitment of at least 6 participants is required for the event to take place and the mystery to be solved.
*This is an after-hours lock in experience, taking place when the library is closed. So, you must arrive between 5:25pm and 5:35pm as that will be the only time a staff member is by the door to let you in to the locked library. Also, it is important that you have made arrangements for a ride, if needed, once the event is over. The library will be locked and staff will be leaving, so if a ride is late the only place to wait will be outside the library.
