A KILLER IS ON THE GUEST LIST. TURN THE CARDS TO REVEAL THE GOSSIP.
THE SOCIAL ELITE
Their money can't keep them safe from the murderous intentions of one of their own.

Behind the silk and sequins, everyone is hiding something.
THE SECRETS
It is up to you to drag their most dazzling skeletons out of the closet.
JOHANNESBURG, 1920s.
The death of Johannesburg heiress and philanthropist, Aurelia Oppenheimer, left high society reeling.
A year later, it’s still the most talked-about soiree in the southern hemisphere. Her cousin Lilian has dined out on the story alone for months.
But now another high-profile death has ruffled the feathered headdresses and shook the sequins of the wealthy elite, and detectives are closing in on the clues the murderer has left behind.
There’s money, means, and growing evidence of an MO… Is there a serial killer hiding in the midst of the underground jazz clubs everyone is talking about?
A TASTE OF DECADENCE
Step into an era of opulent dining, where every dish is as rich as the suspects you will be interrogating.
In this immersive, high-class experience, you will be served a meticulously crafted menu by Apollo’s Taberna et Mixtarium, designed to perfectly match the 1920s glamour of the evening. As you savour the decadent flavour pairings, examine the evidence before you for any clues to solving the crime.
DRESS CODE
1920s HIGH SOCIETY
You might be rubbing shoulders with the Randlords (or at least, the local detectives).
We invite you to lean into the opulent, high-society atmosphere of 1920s Johannesburg. Think sharp tailoring, elegant glamour, and unapologetic wealth. Whether you arrive as a sophisticated socialite in silk and pearls, a ruthless diamond magnate in a bespoke suit, a classic 1920s flapper ready for a party, or a hardboiled detective in a trusty trench coat, ensure your outfit is ready for a night of high-stakes deduction.
Tonight is all about dressing up, having fun, and stepping into the mystery.
FROM JAZZ AND JIVES TO DETECTIVE
The doors are locked. The authorities are delayed. You were there as part of the illicit guest list. Now, over a decadent dinner, your table must solve the crime.
The Evidence: Analyse the society gossip columns, review private correspondence from the club, and examine the physical clues recovered from the scene to determine exactly how the victim died, and who is responsible.
The Goal: Solve the latest in a series of murders before the killer slips away into the Johannesburg night.
If you joined us at Raise Your Glass in July, you may recognise some of the suspects, and the backstory, but you don’t need to have participated in the first one to fully enjoy this immersive murder mystery.

Apollo’s Taberna et Mixtarium will have a full selection of brilliant, bespoke beverages, fine wines, and spirits available for purchase at the venue to help calm your nerves during the investigation.
