Best Laid Plans - An Old Hollywood Murder Mystery Night at Linden Place

If you have been waiting for an excuse to pull out your best evening wear and practice your best poker face, this is it. On Saturday, October 24 at 6:00 PM, Linden Place in Bristol is hosting Best Laid Plans, an Old Hollywood murder mystery night set at the fictional estate of Sir Warren Peace. Think golden age glamour, a houseful of suspects, and one very unhinged guest working their way through the guest list.

A Night of Suspects, Secrets, and a Little Bit of Bribery

Guests at Best Laid Plans do not just watch the mystery unfold, they become part of it. Everyone takes on a role, whether that means diving in as a full suspect, trading bribes with other characters for clues, or simply following the clues and guessing who the killer is. It is built to work for both the person who wants to fully commit to a character and the person who would rather sip a drink and piece things together from the sidelines.

The dress code leans into the Old Hollywood theme. Evening wear or suits are suggested, and costumes are encouraged, though not required, so there is plenty of room to show up anywhere from quietly elegant to fully in character.

What Is Included

General admission is $104 and covers a full evening:

Appetizers to start the night
Dinner catered by Leo’s Ristorante and CP Catering
One drink ticket, with beer, wine, or soda from 2 Gals Cocktails
Full participation in the murder mystery game itself

Why Linden Place Is the Perfect Backdrop

Part of what makes this event work is the setting. Linden Place at 500 Hope Street has the kind of grand, historic presence that practically demands a little drama, and an Old Hollywood mystery feels right at home within its walls. It is the sort of estate that makes you want to lower your voice and glance over your shoulder, which is exactly the mood a good whodunnit needs.

A Fun Reason to Get Dressed Up This Fall

Between the dinner, the drinks, and a plot that rewards a little scheming, Best Laid Plans is shaping up to be one of the more playful nights on Bristol’s October calendar. Whether you come ready to accuse your dinner companions of murder or just want a reason to put on a nice outfit and enjoy a good meal, this one is worth clearing your Saturday evening for.
