Get a Clue! A Cappon House History Mystery

What do you get when you mix the classic mystery game of Clue with a scavenger hunt inside the historic Cappon house? Come Get a Clue and figure out who done it! Come alone or bring a team of up to eight people. Solve puzzles, riddles, and other challenges to uncover the next clue while eliminating suspects, rooms, and murder weapons in the hopes of cracking this mystery.

Teams begin inside the Cappon Visitor Center. After each team is briefed on the game and receives their first clue, the clock begins! Work together to collect clues and solve the mystery before enjoying a well-earned treat of cider and donuts. You can even celebrate with a team photo.
