Phoenix speakeasy offers three-course dinner with a touch of mystery

PHOENIX (AZ family) — Get ready to unleash your inner detective! A Phoenix speakeasy offers a fun and mysterious evening.

Wander Speakeasy, located near 7th Street and Deer Valley Drive, is bringing back its murder mystery dinner, with the Mafioso Murders- Godfather’s Revenge Mystery Dinner, presented by Murder Ink Productions, on Sunday, September 22.

“People can come and be a part of the show,” said Greg Lutz, owner and founder of Murder Ink Productions.

Guests are encouraged to dress as if they were in the 1920s as they enter the world of gangsters and mayhem of that decade.

“We have actors who play, and then someone dies mysteriously, and then they can look for clues. After they look for clues, we have a moment where they can vote and see if they can guess who the murderer really is,” Lutz said.
