Murder Mystery Paint Party: The Midnight Express

First Class. Final Stop.

All aboard for an immersive evening of creativity, mystery and murder unlike our traditional paint parties.

Tonight, you're stepping aboard The Midnight Express — a luxury train carrying a distinguished group of passengers through the night.

But somewhere along the journey, the train comes to an unexpected stop.

One of its most important passengers has been found dead.

No one can leave.

And everyone aboard is a suspect.

Your Murder Mystery Experience

During this special 3-hour experience, you'll:

✦ Create a dimensional layered wood vintage train scene

◆ Paint and customize the individual layers to create your own railway-inspired artwork

♠ Become part of an interactive murder mystery unfolding throughout the evening

♣ Follow clues, uncover secrets and discover what your fellow passengers may be hiding

❖ Decide who you think is responsible before the final reveal

No artistic experience is needed. We'll guide you through the project step-by-step while leaving plenty of room to make it uniquely yours.

Why a Train?

Tonight, the Midnight Express is more than the setting for our story.

Every passenger boarded for a reason. Every passenger has somewhere they're supposed to be going.

And at least one of them knows why this train never reached its destination.

Somewhere Between the Paint & the Clues...

The train may have stopped, but the mystery is just beginning.

As you paint, new evidence will emerge, secrets will surface and your fellow passengers may not be quite who they first appeared to be.

Listen carefully. Compare theories. Watch your fellow passengers.

Because aboard The Midnight Express, no one gets off until the mystery is solved.

By the end of the night, you'll have two things to finish:

Your artwork.

And your accusation.
