Step back in time to the year 1901, where mystery, suspense, and a touch of theatrical flair await on Ministers Island this summer. On Sunday July 26th guests are invited to experience "Murder on the Accidental Express", an interactive murder mystery dinner theatre that promises intrigue from the very first moment.

​

The story begins aboard a Canadian Pacific Railway train travelling from Montreal to Vancouver - until disaster strikes. An avalanche in the Rocky Mountains halts the journey, leaving passengers stranded in the wilderness. A delicious meal is quickly arranged in a nearby navvies’ tent, offering a warmer refuge than the now-chilled dining car.​  But what begins as a simple supper quickly turns sinister... A BODY'S BEEN DISCOVERED and a surprising number of passengers had previously crossed paths with the victim - Questions swirl in the mountain air. Who is the victim? What led to the murder? And perhaps most pressing - who among the stranded passengers can be trusted?

​

Guests will enjoy a meal inspired by the early 1900s while watching and participating in the drama, should they wish, as it unfolds around them. Starting at 4 pm in the island’s event tent, the experience promises food, laughter, suspense, and a dash of theatrical mischief. The performance includes some adult content and is recommended for ages 12 and up.
