It’s the spring of 1950, and the Fox River Garden Society has gathered at the National Railroad Museum’s brand-new Fox River Expansion for an evening of elegance and celebration. The highlight of the night, the unveiling of the legendary Iron Rose, promises prestige and acclaim for its powerful benefactor. When the lights flicker, and a piercing scream echoes through the exhibition, the night’s beauty wilts into chaos. Amid whispered rivalries, hidden histories, and blooming deceit, guests must explore the Museum’s historic rail cars to uncover who turned this season of renewal into a night of betrayal and revenge!
1950s era attire is encouraged but not required.
There will be two game sessions each night – 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Please choose the time that works best for you! Each session has a maximum capacity of 50 players. The game itself will run approximately one hour.
