Totally Rad 80’s Prom Gone Bad

You’re invited to the most totally tubular night of the decade—until it all goes horribly wrong!

Step back into 1989 for Totally Rad 80’s Prom Gone Bad, an evening of neon lights, big hair, and a little murder aboard the vintage Nickel Plate Express. The music is pumping, the punch is flowing, and everyone’s ready to dance… until one prom-goer meets a gnarly fate. It’s up to you to uncover who had the motive, the means, and the killer moves.

Enjoy a dinner served aboard the train that’s still to be announced—but trust us, it’s going to be totally awesome and full of flavor. The bar will be open throughout the evening with themed cocktails and nostalgic favorites available for purchase.

Choose Your Role at Checkout:

When purchasing your ticket, you’ll decide whether you’d like to be a Suspect or a Detective:

Suspects will be part of the action! After ticket purchase, each suspect will receive a brief questionnaire by email to help us assign roles, plus costume and prop suggestions to get you in character. No need to memorize lines—just bring your best 80s attitude and a flair for fun.

Detectives will piece together clues, question suspects, and try to solve the crime before the final song plays.

Costumes Encouraged!

Think prom night 1989—bright colors, big sleeves, and bigger hair. Whether you’re rocking a powder-blue tux, a sequined gown, or leg warmers and lace gloves, get ready to dance, laugh, and solve a crime that’s, like, totally to die for.
