This was absolutely AWESOME! My sister and I ended up being the only 2 in our time slot but we had such a great time. Yannis did an awesome job, and we were fully engaged the whole time. If you have time - this is absolutely worth it for a great laugh!!

Our family had a lot of fun and would recommend to others who love a good who-dunnit mystery. It was a fun and interesting way to do a murder mystery. Great way to learn a little Grecian history too. A quick and fun adventure.
