Join Us For a Star-Spangled Fourth Murder Mystery

Please check in at WILL CALL inside the Virginia City Depot at least 10 minutes before departure time with your printed or phone receipt to pick up boarding passes. We reserve the right to sell your seats if you don’t check-in 10 minutes prior to scheduled departure time.

All aboard the Star Spangled Fourth Murder Mystery Train for a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience!  Enjoy libations and appetizers served on board the train while a live murder mystery show is played out during your round trip from the the historic Virginia City Depot to Gold Hill and back. 

How a Murder Mystery works:

  • Your hosts at Funtime Theater will provide you with clues to help you solve the murder. These could be delivered through various methods, such as acting out scenes, providing written clues, or even staging murder weapon “accidents.”
  • You’ll have to use your detective skills to piece together who did it. This might involve collaborating with other guests, examining the crime scene, and paying close attention to the clues provided.
  • At the end of the evening, the hosts will work with the detectives to solve the crime and identify the culprit. Tickets are on sale for $55.

Then stay and at dusk, enjoy some of the best fireworks in the west in Virginia City.

Reservations are required. Be sure to book early as trains will sell out quickly. Please choose carefully as all sales are final.

Reserve your tickets online.
