Sabrina East began hosting Meet & Mingle Party Games in 2016. Now, she has hosted over 160 events, connecting thousands of people across the community. From restaurants to breweries to galleries; she has set up her uniquely themed, interactive  murder mystery events all over the Roanoke Valley and on Zoom, especially during the pandemic. 

'Jump into Mystery is a unique experience. It isn't a mystery dinner because people don't sit and watch. They move around, laugh, talk, eat, and drink. When a guest arrives at one of these events, they enter another world and become characters; roles they will sustain for the length of the event. They ask questions of each other, find clues, and buy or sell information using fake money. In the end, they will decide who committed the crime, the motive, and the method.'

If you enjoyed playing Clue or reading Sherlock Holmes, then you will love these events. Even if you don't feel like you are a detective at heart, if you love laughter and people–you are bound to have a great time. 

February is a particularly fun month for Jump Into Mystery, as Sabrina wraps a Valentine theme into many of the public events. Here are a few she has planned:

+A Valentine to Die For Murder Mystery Dinner at Wellhung Vineyard Sunday, February 5th at 6pm in downtown Roanoke.

+A Valentine to Die for at Bower Center for the Arts Saturday, February 11th at 6pm in Bedford, VA

+My Bloody Valentine, a virtual event, Friday, February 17th at 8pm online

+Snowed In Murder Mystery at Crescent City Bourbon & BBQ Saturday, March 4th at 6pm in downtown Roanoke

Be sure to go to the Jump Into Mystery Facebook Page to purchase your non-refundable tickets in advance and check out the details of each unique event to participate in the murder mystery. You'll want to check-in ahead of time to be ready and in character to start the game! Some events are 18 and older; however, Sabrina will book private events, too!
