Come join us at The Haan for a murder mystery themed game night! Clue games, of varying editions, will be set up throughout the mansion. Dress fancy (or don’t), grab some snacks, & choose your favorite room to play in! Bring a friend or group to claim a game with, or come alone & mingle with other solo players until you find someone you think you’d like to throw murder allegations at!

Actual game-play will begin at 7PM, for the fashionably late. 🙂

Admission: $10

Thanks to our sponsors Thomas Duncan Hall and Visit Lafayette - West Lafayette
The Minnesota-born guitarist, songwriter, and interpreter of traditional music has released 19 albums over two decades and has been known to perform up to 275 shows a year. Parr is a folk troubadour in the truest sense: taking to the road between shows, writing and rewriting songs as he plays, fueled by a belief that music is eternal and cannot be claimed or adequately explained. The bluesman poet pulls closely from the sights and sounds around him, his lyrical craftsmanship built by his influences. The sounds from his working-class upbringing—including Folkways legends such as Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie—imbue Parr’s music with stylistic echoes of blues and folk icons of decades past.
