Murder at The Marquis: An Old Hollywood Mystery

The Murder Mystery Company is bringing Murder at The Marquis: An Old Hollywood Mystery to Walker Street Kitchen at Marriott Marquis Houston on Friday, October 30. It's a murder mystery dinner set in the glamour and intrigue of Old Hollywood, and since it falls right before Halloween, it's a good excuse to lean into the season. The evening is interactive and immersive: an elegant gathering is derailed by a shocking murder, and you're one of the guests who has to figure out who did it.

That means you aren't just sitting there watching a play. You'll be examining clues, interrogating suspicious characters, and piecing together the mystery alongside everyone else at the table. The night pairs that suspense and comedy with a chef-curated menu meant to fit the Hollywood elite theme, so you're eating your way through the case. The whole experience runs about two and a half hours, and it's for ages 21 and over.

If you're the type who likes to commit to a theme, there's a prize for the best-dressed detective. They've listed a few categories to give you a head start: Vintage Hollywood Glamour, Mobster Chic, Flapper Fashion, and Elegant Cocktail Attire. You can go full costume or just dress up for the occasion—either way, it's part of the fun.

The dinner runs from 6:30 PM to 9 PM, with doors opening at 6 PM, so you've got time to get settled before things kick off. Tickets are $105.96, and it's all happening at Walker Street Kitchen in the Marriott Marquis Houston, 1777 Walker St, Houston, TX 77010.
