Teen Murder Mystery Event

Teens, ages 12-18, join us on Tuesday, July 9, from 3 to 5:30 p.m., in Rodman Main Auditorium for Murder at Universe Con. Fangirls and fanboys have gathered for the annual Universe Con dressed in an array of cosplays and fandom garb.

A world famous scientist is scheduled to present the keynote address, but after a random power outage, the lights come back on to reveal someone has been murdered. The mystery will unfold through three acts and participants will have the opportunity to figure out “whodunit.”

Participants are encouraged to come dressed for their part or to bring their costumes with them. Snacks will be available between acts. Space is limited.

Registration is required and participants may choose their character at this time. To register, stop at the Information Desk. For more information, call 330-821-2665, ext. 214.
