How to play Mystery Weekend

Here’s how Mystery Weekend works.

Sleuths come to Langley and line up outside the Visitor and Information Center on Anthes Street starting at 10 a.m. Saturday or Sunday morning, February 25-26. There they buy a clue map for $10 ($8 for seniors and military) and are given a copy of The Langley Gazette with details of the murder.

From there, detectives fan out all over town, visiting the crime scene, picking up clues from participating merchants and interacting with the suspects, who will be in costume and whose photographs will be displayed in the windows of the former Mike’s Place.

Your solution must be entered on the official contest entry form and returned to Mystery Weekend headquarters at 208 Anthes Street by 4 p.m. Sunday. Correct solutions will be placed in a drawing for grand prizes, provided by local innkeepers and merchants. Incorrect solutions are still eligible for other prizes.

The prize drawing will take place after the solution is announced at Langley Middle School auditorium at 5 p.m. on Sunday, February 26. If winners are not present, they will be notified after the finale. The solution will be posted on this website, visitlangley.com, after the reveal.
