On Sunday, Oct. 26, the beloved brunch and tea spot will transform into the Paris Opera House for Masquerade of Shadows, an immersive Murder Mystery Dinner where every guest becomes part of the story.

Guests will don velvet masks, receive secret character roles, and work together to solve a chilling whodunit set amid chandeliers and whispers of scandal. Each of the three courses—appetizer, entrée, and dessert—will serve as a stage for new clues and intrigue, with the big reveal arriving just before dessert.

There are two showtimes, at 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., held at Emma Jane on W. Clay St.
