FAQs

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

No ID is required. We do not recommend our shows for children under 14 years of age. Plots may involve adult situations or mature themes (infidelity, drug use, gambling). Humor may contain mild adult innuendo.

What are my parking options for getting to and from the event?

Free public parking is available in the parking garage behind Sugarbacon

How can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Email is guests@oneesca.com

What's the refund policy? Is my ticket transferrable?

All sales are final and nonrefundable. No exceptions. However, if you can't make the show, you are allowed to give someone else your ticket for that date.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No. Your name will be on the check-in list with our Mystery Host at the door. We will email you a confirmation with directions and additional information.

Is it ok if the name on my ticket doesn't match the person who attends?

Yes.

How can members of a group sit together if they reserve separately?

When reserving, you are asked if you are part of a larger group. If you are, type your group name (e.g. The Smith Party, or The Jones Party) into the space provided, and we will sit you all together.

Is it gory or scary?

Stage Blood is used, but nothing too graphic. This is not like a haunted house experience. No one is going to leap out and try to scare you.

Is the murder mystery before or after the dinner?

During. It begins the moment you park your car, and ends only as you exit the venue.

May I take pictures?

Yes! We encourage it... as long as you tag it (if you upload it to social media) as https://www.facebook.com/sugarbaconproperkitchenallen & https://www.facebook.com/mmysterytexas
