Solve the mystery at Greenwood’s End of Summer Fest

Greenwood End of Summer Fest is right around the corner, and our Clue Characters are back! Super sleuths of all ages are invited to join in to solve the mystery of “Who killed Mr. Boddy?”

How it works – This is an interactive game of Clue where the characters come to life and Greenwood is your game board. You can participate alone or in teams.

We’re excited to offer this unique experience at Greenwood End of Summer Fest. Participants have the chance to interact with the characters, use their deductive and puzzle solving skills, and learn some history of Greenwood all at the same time. We’re hoping adults, families, and kids will all enjoy the challenge and fun of solving the mystery of “Who Dunnit!” There is no cost to play so get your investigative skills ready to crack the case.

Saturday, Sept. 10 -- 11:45am – Register outside of Branstiter’s Musuem. -- Noon – Meet the characters, hear alibis, get your free Clue Case file, your first clue and then work to solve the mystery.

-- 2 p.m. – “Detectives” Turn in their accusation at the Greenwood Library Park -- 2:15 p.m. – The Final Reveal at the Library Park with prizes drawn from correct accusations. You must be present to win. And winners will have the opportunity to ride in the 3 p.m. parade with clue characters, too.

Brenda Thomas, the coordinator of the game, said, “A few years ago, we were on a cruise and the cruise line had an interactive Clue game with live characters and clue opportunities throughout the week; we had a blast playing and later my husband said to me, ‘Wouldn’t this be awesome to create for Greenwood?’ That’s when the idea was born; we were passionate to grow the success of Summer Fest and give people and families a reason to come and offer them something fun and different to do.”

“I’m hoping this will be the best experience yet” added Thomas. “We’ve shortened up the game and it’ll be more interactive with the Clue characters which I think will make it more enjoyable for everyone.”

The Game is sponsored by Dallman Insurance and the City of Greenwood. Three winners will be drawn from the accusations; prizes are Greenwood Area Commerce gift certificates for $25, $50, and $75.
