The Federal Inn Boutique Bed and Breakfast Owner, Lial Alum, Katie Pettee (recently featured in our Fall Lial Connection), offers this exclusive custom created evening for Lucky to be Lial!

Step into a night of clever clues, whispered suspicions, and just the right amount of scandal at The Federal Inn, a boutique bed and breakfast in Maumee, where your getaway for six comes with a side of mystery.

An Evening of Suspicion

Prior to check in, you and your participants will receive notice in the mail with the details of your character, mandatory costume, and your secrets!

At evening check-in, the tone shifts. What begins as a charming overnight stay quickly unfolds into an immersive, escape room-style murder mystery. Doors conceal secrets. Notes hide in plain sight. Alibis unravel under the slightest pressure. Everyone has a motive, and no one is entirely trustworthy.

You and your fellow guests will piece together riddles, decode cryptic messages, and follow a trail of clues through the Inn. Collaboration is encouraged, though strategic misdirection is always an option. The truth is there, if you're observant enough to find it.

After the Case

Once the culprit is revealed, gather in the parlor for refreshments and post-investigation analysis. Revisit your bold accusations, defend your most questionable theories, and discover who among you has a true talent for sleuthing.

It is an evening that balances suspense with sophistication, playful intrigue with genuine challenge. Come for the mystery. Stay for the comfort. Leave with a story worth retelling!

The Experience Includes

• Overnight accommodations for 6 guests
• A fully interactive murder mystery adventure beginning at evening check-in
• Escape room-inspired puzzles woven into the setting
• Refreshments served afterward in the Inn's cozy parlor
• A gourmet breakfast the following morning to restore even the most sleep-deprived detective

MUST BE SCHEDULED IN SEPTEMBER OR NOVEMBER 2026.
