Dead Wrong : A Case File Event

Dead Wrong : A Case File Event

Overview

Investigate “The Last Holiday” in a free, team-based mystery competition with three rounds of case-file clues.

Dead Wrong: A Case File Event is a free, in-person interactive mystery competition open to the general public.

Investigate the case

In the first case, “The Last Holiday,” a woman is mysteriously murdered while celebrating her 30th birthday in Washington, DC. Someone has already been convicted—but was justice truly served?

Work in teams through three competitive rounds, examining realistic case files, witness statements, photographs, newspaper clippings, and other evidence. Each round brings new information and a specific objective. Teams earn points for their findings, and the highest-scoring team wins.

  • This is an immersive, competitive mystery-solving experience—not an escape room or murder mystery dinner.
