A memorial turns deadly—and everyone becomes a suspect.

Step inside the legendary, historic Matthews House for the third episode of Prohibition Can Be Murder, an immersive, interactive original murder mystery set in Cary, where secrets never stay buried. What begins as a memorial service in Prohibition-era Cary quickly erupts into scandal, accusations, and an unexpected murder committed right before your eyes. Brought to you by City Doctor Productions.

As rumors spread and long-hidden truths surface, you’ll move through the house in small groups, gathering clues, uncovering motives, and interrogating a cast of deeply flawed characters—grieving parents, political climbers, mystics, and family members bound together by lies. Each room reveals another piece of the puzzle, and every guest plays a role in determining whodunit, why, and how.

This is not a passive show. You’ll search for evidence, solve puzzles, question suspects, and ultimately cast your accusation before the killer is revealed in a dramatic finale.
