Setting the Scene

Join us as we transform the Radisson Hotel Ballroom into a museum for the night...

The crowd was hushed as the museum proprietor got ready to unveil the prized display of the evening, the Stomach of the Ocean Diamond, only to find it had been stolen while the crowd mingled in ignorant bliss. Now it's up to you, our other guests, and the detective to find the thief and restore the diamond to its rightful place to get the unveiling back on track! Who is the carat caper, and who will solve the crime to make this night of mystery the night of beauty it was intended to be?

As an audience member, you can be as involved in the action as you'd like or are comfortable with: volunteer to play a part alongside the professional actors; or if the spotlight's not your thing, sit back, take in all of the clues, and crack the case with those around you. 

What should I wear?

Come as you are in jeans and a t-shirt; dress like you would for a night on the town; OR, let loose and have a little fun with our theme...

• Dress in your fanciest evening gowns and suits. This is a museum unveiling, after all.
• Or, come in character: cops and robbers are welcome. Will you be good or bad?
• As they say, the devil is in the details... don't forget accessories!
