Secrets of the Estate - A Murder Mystery Dinner
Saturday, February 22nd, 5:00 PM
Escape to the 1920s, where for a night, liquor is unlawful and run by gangsters behind closed doors. As the well-known crime bosses of Chicago gather at a private party in the country, enter the Yellow Barn to uncover the hidden secrets at the Creek.
Join us and help solve a murder with the others at your table in groups of eight. Less than eight guests? Don't worry—it's a great opportunity to meet new people! Enjoy a night of craft cocktails and a mystery to unfold. Come dressed in era attire and capture glamorous photographs in our themed photobooth.
Reservations are $100 per person and include:
- A four-course meal
- A 1920s-inspired welcome cocktail (non-alcoholic options available; please indicate on your reservation), with additional cocktails available for purchase
- An interactive murder mystery experience performed by the Murder Mystery Company of Chicago, IL
Book a Reservation for the Cellar Experience - Once you book the Murder Mystery you will receive an email with details on how to book the Cellar Experience
Enhance your night with a reservation in our restaurant's speakeasy cellar before dinner at 4 PM. Guests with this upgrade will enjoy:
- A pre-dinner cocktail in the ambiance of our exclusive, Prohibition-style cellar (to be purchased the night of)
- The chance to solve a riddle leading to the secret entrance of the event—a unique experience reserved for those who dine in the cellar beforehand. (All other guests will solve a riddle at a different entrance.)
Prior to the event, guests will receive a secret message with details encoded in an invitation, instructions, and summary. 1920s-themed attire is admired but not required—though you can count on us to be donning the era’s best dress. Enjoy classic cocktails with a twist crafted by our in-house bartender.
