Unearthing the Truth: A Library Mystery Night In-Person

What began as a celebration of local history has turned into a shocking crime.

The Endicott community was thrilled when a long-forgotten time capsule was uncovered on the library grounds during a drainage improvement project. To authenticate the discovery and lead its public opening, the library invited renowned university archaeologist Kasandra Miller to examine the capsule and its contents. Working alongside Library Director Barbara Stanton, Assistant Director Tina Richards, library staff, and community leaders, preparations were underway for a memorable ceremony.

But on the day of the unveiling, disaster struck.

Instead of the time capsule, investigators discovered the lifeless body of Kasandra Miller—and the capsule itself had vanished without a trace.

As questions mount and tensions rise, everyone involved becomes a suspect. Did Kasandra uncover a secret someone wanted buried forever? Was the missing capsule hiding more than historical artifacts? And who had the motive to turn a community celebration into a crime scene?

Gather your fellow detectives, examine the evidence, interview the suspects, and follow the clues through the library’s tangled history. Only by uncovering long-buried secrets can you identify the killer, recover the missing time capsule, and solve the mystery before the truth is lost forever.

Can you crack the case? Join us for an evening of intrigue, deception, and deduction in this interactive murder mystery experience where every clue matters, and everyone has something to hide. 🔎📚⚰️🕰️
