Halloween is just around the corner and if you're like most of us, then you can probably agree that the weather outside isn't helping it feel much like the trick-or-treating time of year. So, we wanted to attempt to put our readers in the Halloween spirit by recapping one of our most popular services, Murder Mystery Experiences! At Snyder Entertainment we are all about creating unforgettable moments in the Nashville and middle Tennessee areas. That is why we have added private Murder Mystery Games to our line up of great solutions! Do you remember playing the board game "Clue" when you were a child? This great product is essentially a LIVE GAME of Clue. We will bring the show and you and your guests will work together and against each other to solve the murder before the end of the performance. Your guests will be the suspects and one of them IS the murderer. They just don't know it yet. And if you bundle Murder Mystery with our other services such as a DJ package or Photo Booth you can turn your event into more than just a GAME! You can turn it into a EXPERIENCE!
