Interactive Murder Mystery Frequently Asked Questions

What is an interactive murder mystery?

The Dragon Wagon offers a convenient murder mystery service based in the Wilmington area. We bring the experience to you with a professional Storyteller and all the equipment needed for an unforgettable experience.

One of you will be the murderer and will have some help to get away with it. The others will be assigned roles with unique powers to try to find out who is killing off everyone. It is a game of good versus evil with time running out as more and more players are murdered.
