Murder Mystery Dinner: Death Bites
Brookville YMCA 125 Main Street, Brookville, PA, United StatesA Murder Mystery Dinner For You To Sink Your Teeth Into Brookville Chamber Presents “Death Bites” on Thursday, October 16th Sharpen your stakes, polish your fangs, and prepare your sharpest detective instincts! The Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce invites you to a thrilling night of sinister suspense and deadly comedy at Murder Mystery Dinner: Death Bites on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at the Brookville YMCA. Doors creak open at 5:00pm. The evening begins at 6:00pm with a delicious dinner prepared by Shannon’s Catering, complete with dessert and refreshments. Expect classic dishes served with frightful flair and clever names sure to delight every mortal appetite. This is a BYOB event, bring your favorite spirits… of any kind. After dinner, the stakes rise as Mystery’s Most Wanted, Pittsburgh’s #1 comedy murder-mystery dinner theater company, takes the stage with their fang-tastically funny production, Death Bites. This year’s plot unfolds at the Annual Vampire Hunter’s Convention, where hunters brag that their work is done and vampires are finally extinct. But rumors of something lurking in the shadows suggest otherwise. Are the undead gone for good or hiding in plain sight, ready for one last deadly bite? Only the audience-turned-detectives can solve the case before the night ends in bloody laughter. Costumes are encouraged—whether you slip into the elegance of a vampire lord or lady, channel your inner Gothic sleuth with trench coat and magnifying glass, or arrive as a rugged vampire hunter armed for the chase, your look will help set the stage for an evening of mystery and mayhem. Dress to impress and snap your best look at the photo booth! Tickets are required. Dinner, dessert, and a night of deadly delight are included with admission. Seating is limited and this event sells out quickly, so reserve your spot today at the Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce office at 100 Franklin Avenue, Brookville or online BrookvilleChamber.com
