Pub Trivia Murder Mystery Challenge: The Case of the Poisoned Patron at Oxbow Brewing Company @ Oxbow Brewing Company
Oct 14 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Pub Trivia Murder Mystery Challenge: The Case of the Poisoned Patron at Oxbow Brewing Company @ Oxbow Brewing Company | Portland | Maine | United States

For months, the local pub was home to a run-of-the-mill trivia game. Until one night, it was home to a murder! A local player dropped dead in this otherwise friendly battle of wits, and the game hasn’t run again since… until tonight.

Tonight, we’re enlisting your help to solve this mystery the only way we know how: Through a game of pub trivia. Each round, your group will answer trivia questions, which will, in turn, unlock details of the murder, uncover backstories and ultimately answer the greatest question of them all: Whodunnit?

So form a team with your sleuthiest friends and see if you can solve The Case of The Poisoned Patron!

Please note: This is not a theatrical production featuring actors or audience roles or some of the other staples of a murder mystery production, rather this is a trivia game with a murder mystery puzzle interwoven.

A few other items of note…

———

1) This is our first time running this event in Maine, though we have hosted it already in Boston and Rhode Island (so far, all of our New England events have sold out!), and if it goes well here, we hope to host another night of it soon. They are all the same game featuring the same key elements and questions, so we ask players not to sign up for more than one event. However, for those of you dying to play again, we have good news: If this continues to get as good a reaction as it has so far, we plan to do a new mystery in 2025. If you click the “upcoming events” tab at www.quirkevents.com, and choose the city of your choice, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, you’ll be able to join our mailing list and get notified about future events. Plus, joining our mailing list gets you 50% off your first ticket purchase!

2) This event will take place at 49 Washington Ave, Portland ME, in Oxbow Brewing’s original tasting room.

3) Refunds are only available to those who cancel with more than 48 hours’ notice. After that, we’re blowing the money from your ticket sale on something extravagant and nonrefundable.

4) To stay up to date on everything we have going on at Quirk Events, follow us on Instagram here!
