Langley Mystery Weekends
I never liked Clue growing up, but going away for a weekend and being in a live “Whodunit” actually sounds kind of fun. Think of a dinner mystery, but over a whole weekend where you don’t necessarily work with (or normally spend time with) the perpetrator, so your best friends get off the guilty-hook. Langley hosts and annual Mystery Weekends in late February. The point of this whole thing is to solve an unusual crime by talking to people, finding clues and doing some brain exercises under the guise of a weekend away.
You’ve got two days to solve the mystery and you can pick up a map for $5 starting at 10 am Saturday morning in the Langley Visitors Center. If you’ve solved the mystery by 4:00 PM on Sunday, drop off your answers and then head over to the middle school starting at 4:30 to see a 30 minute “play” as the key suspects are questioned and the crook is confronted.
This event has been around for a number of years now and draws crowds upwards of 2000 souls! Not bad to triple the population of the town for the weekend! There are a huge number of beds and breakfasts in town, so finding somewhere to stay should be easy if you check with the Chamber of Commerce.
