The Final Clue 3

Purchase Here

6 p.m. – 11 p.m. June 15

At this thrilling Watson-Curtze Mansion event, guests step back into the 1920′s when men adorn pin stripe suits and wing tips while women favor flapper dresses and pearls. Dressing up is optional, but so much fun! This year will be the third annual event for this great fundraiser, one of the Historical Society’s largest fundraisers of the year.

From 6 to 8 pm on the night of the event, 30 teams partake in a murder mystery, loosely based on the movie CLUE. Teams attempt to discover whodunit as they travel through the three floors of the historic Watson-Curtze Mansion. At 8 pm, guests arrive to join game particpants for the after party: Mayhem at the Mansion. Drinks flow, hors d’oeuvres are aplenty, and guests can dabble in a bit of gambling or watch the movie CLUE inside the Erie Planetarium where delectable desserts await.

Team tickets are 250 per team. Each team consists of 6-8 people. Single game tickets can be purchased for $50. To purchase tickets to the event, please contact the Erie County Historical Society at (814)454-1813.

After the mystery is solved in the Mansion, head to our swanky speakeasy for some forbidden fun. Bootlegged drinks will flow and hors d’oeuvres will be aplenty while you gamble at the casino tables or enjoy the movie CLUE in the planetarium.

Tickets to The Final Clue 2: Mayhem at the Mansion are $20 each, and can be purchased by calling 814-454-1813.
