In “Which Witch is the Head Witch?” guests are invited to the specially convened election convention of the Wild and Woolly Western Witches Coven to elect a new head witch or warlock. Witchypoo, the coven's high exalted head witch, was found ashes to ashes and dust to dust recently, requiring all its members to convene for the purpose of selecting a new head witch or warlock. Who will win? Be forewarned, as with all politics, intrigue is likely to creep in. Keep your wits about you and try to uncover the clues that will unmask the killer! Guests mingle and dine with characters Syd Vicious, Peter Pyper Pepper, Ramon Contado, Serena VaVoom, Matilda Broomhilda and Glinda Glimmer.
In “Dracula’s Grand Masquerade Ball: Deadly Wedded Bliss,” guests are summoned by Count Dracula to his Annual Grand Masquerade Ball, where all the local monsters and townspeople join the festivities of illusion, mystery and intrigue. Rumors are circulating that Dracula, in a plot to rule the world, has killed Dr. Victor, the creator of Frankenstein and Frankenstein’s Bride. Entertaining his guest are Dracula’s three wickedly enchanting brides, Corruptya, Jezabel and Luna. Lurking nearby is a big bag of rags, The Mummy... or is it?
As in all Hunt Mysteries productions, the shows include top-rate singing, dancing and loads of comedy, plus audience participation, including interrogating the suspects (the actors) individually in solving the comedy murder mystery. Plus Hunt Mysteries uses a professional sound system and lighting along with professional sound technicians.
