How it flows

4:00 PM
Speakeasy baseline
Arrive at The Ostrich. One prohibition cocktail each, set the 1920s mood, run a 'what’s your energy?' check.
5:15 PM
Costume check + drive
Leave speakeasy. Adjust costumes in the car, hydrate, and drive to the venue (12 min).
6:00 PM
Murder mystery immersion
Dinner and mystery unfold at Chateau De Vie. Stay in character, pace drinks with water, and play the clues together.
9:30 PM
Post-solve nightcap
Return to downtown Chandler or Gilbert. One final toast at The Blue Heron or back to The Ostrich.
10:30 PM
Clean exit
Confirm rideshare, send 'home safe' text, and debrief the night’s best moments.

Pivots & backups

Speakeasy wait too long
Skip to The Brickyard Downtown (opens 10 AM) for happy hour cocktails. Same historic aesthetic, different vibe.
Running late
Call ahead to Chateau De Vie, skip the nightcap, and go straight to the farm by 5:25 PM.
Energy crash
Cancel the nightcap. Grab water/snacks at QT, rideshare home, and debrief in PJs.
Sober option
The Ostrich makes excellent mocktails (ask for 'Dealer’s Choice, zero-proof'). Aguas frescas available at the farm.
