MATER DEI IN THE NIGHT

Students of Mater Dei, you are cordially invited to the fourth annual Mater Dei in the Night—a dinner party with a twist. Often described as a live-action version of the game Clue!, this is a themed dinner with a mysterious murder at the center of the story. The event will be hosted at Greysolon in Duluth, which, in our fictitious story is “Cadbury Estate in Golden Grove”. The event will take place on Thursday, May 7th (timeline below).

Each guest will be assigned a fictitious character (you’ll receive your character profile the week before the dinner). Guests should remain “in the personality of their character” throughout the evening, which will consist of guided activities and clues to potential motives of various guests. Part way through the evening, one guest will be revealed as the murder victim. Thereafter, the sleuthing will commence to figure out “who done it”. Rewards will be given to those who crack the case.

The required dress code for the evening is semi-formal. Don’t know what that means? Don’t worry. Check out the requirements and guidelines HERE.

Cost is $50 per student and RSVPs must be submitted no later than April 17th to the email address HERE. Join us for this mysteriously exciting event to close out the school year! See you soon!

Nevertheless, your curiosity has burdened you, and for this reason, you cannot miss this once-in-a-lifetime event. This is where your story begins.
