(Click on photos to enlarge)We dressed in our costumes,The murder mystery started at 7:00pm on the first floor in the library. This room is rather large and can hold up to 40 murder mystery guests.
grabbed our bottle of wine and proceeded to the library at 7:00. As we descended down the stairs the crowd on people below gave us the look over. Our costumes were vampire attire and we really looked different from the other people. Now, when you show up in costume you’re supposed to assume your character. So we strolled around the room meeting all the mystery guests. That was fun and a little awkward. My character was Derek Von Neuheisal from Transylvania and I lived in the family castle. Jennifer was my sister Countess Morticia Von Neuheisal. Jen and I just walked around the room meeting all the different people and their characters. Your supposed to know whom everyone is and their back-story but unless you have a photographic memory there is no way to remember all the details of the characters. We also wore nametags so that helped. They allow you to bring alcohol so pretty much everyone had some wine and some had beer. We roamed around and made small talk until 7:30.

The hostess (employee) of the night came in and started the murder mystery in the library. She spoke in an accent and was pretty convincing. The story starts and everyone gets to act a little by playing his or her part, which is given to you when you arrive. I had a little speech I made and I was quite good. Oscar worthy if you ask me. After about 45 minutes of that they had us sit down for a 4-course meal. We are asked to stay in character for the whole evening until the end of the murder mystery. As we sat down to dinner you could tell the alcohol was working through the group. People where more expressive and where really getting into their characters. I was feeling pretty groovy myself and had a ball telling my dinner mates the in and outs of the cold dark damp castle I lived in Transylvania.
After the meal one the characters went to the bathroom near the dinner room and screamed, grabbed her throat, and died. She did a great job. She was also very drunk. Since her character died off she become another character named Pipka Von Neuheisal.
Well since we were done with dinner and someone had died it was time to go figure it out. So, we went back to the library again to continue the murder mystery. Now let me tell you. The alcohol was in full effect and we had some drunken folks. The character known as Pipka Von Neuheisal was extremely drunk and pretty annoying. She kept interrupting the hostess. However the hostess did a good job of settling her down. When we arrived at the murder mystery we where given clues that no was supposed to know about and after the dinner we where supposed to read those clues to the group. After we did that they separated us to two groups. Men went to one group in another room and women stayed in the library.
With all the story and clues we where supposed to find out who killed the person. After about 30 minutes of arguing we made our choice and returned to the library and then someone from the group revealed whom we thought killed the person.
No group got it right and the hostess told us who did the killing and why. That ended the murder mystery. After that we went through the room introducing our real selves. There was a large medical group of nurses and doctors from Tulsa and a smaller group from Tinker Air Force base. The hostess then invited the group to go to a local bar for a nightcap and then she’d go home. There is no one that stays at the Stone Lion Inn except for the guests. It was around 12 midnight and Jen and I were tired so we didn’t go. We went back to our room.
