About Town Tours presents…

ComeSolveIt

The Premier Murder Mystery Experience

  Other companies "talk" about good customer service.  We"ACT"  based on that concept

WE COME TO THE VENUE YOU CHOOSE. "HAVE ACTORS WILL TRAVEL."

2010 SPECIAL: Call (704) 650-2799 or email info@abouttowntours.com Call or email and book us for your upcoming event for all of 2010, and we will give you a Special discount.  Just mention the Code ATTCSI2010.

What do you get for choosing About Town Tours to host your next special event?

-Lots of Fun!

-Yes, we all know how boring the corporate life can be.

-But we are going to mix it up for you.  You’re getting a self contained murder mystery experience in a dinner theater style format.

-Imagine sitting in a fine restaurant enjoying your chilled glass of red wine and succulent steak when all of a sudden....... 

-What was once a buzzing room of laughter and conversation goes deaf.  It’s so quiet, the sound of a pin drop could be heard. What could be happening? 

-The Detective appears ready to inform you about the investigation.

-Somebody did it, and they’ve got to be stopped.

-Can you catch them before they do it again?

  You better, your life might depend on it.

We provide the actors, costumes, official police information. You provide the attendees who then become the investigators who help the Detective figure out "WHODUNIT!" Your guests will get to hear the official testimonies from the "suspects" and then they will actually get to interrogate them.  It's a murder mystery where the murder has already happened, so there are no dead bodies, just lots of fun.  Great for team building, employee appreciation events, family reunions, and any other special event.

  Other companies "talk" about good customer service.  We"ACT"  based on that concept

SAYING OF THE WEEK: When I was much younger, I thought being flexible meant I could do all of the fabulous moves in my dance classes. Now, I find that I have learned it means being able to adapt at a moment's notice and having patience. Geeeeesh, I miss dance class.
