Murder at the Derby | A Murder Mystery Experience

Step into the grandstand glamour of Talbott Downs, where silks shimmer, mint juleps flow, and scandal runs faster than the horses. Beneath the charm of Southern hospitality, secrets are brewing — and before the night is over, someone won’t make it to the Winner’s Circle.

Dress in your finest Derby fashion — fascinators, bold hats, seersucker suits, and Southern flair encouraged — and prepare for an evening of intrigue, laughter, and suspense. As you enjoy a thoughtfully prepared multi-course dinner worthy of race day, you’ll mingle with colorful characters, uncover hidden motives, and follow a trail of clues as the mystery unfolds around you.

But be warned… everyone has something to hide.
