The Whisk, 18 South Jackson St, Greencastle, IN
Mixology and Murder 2026
Oct 28th & 31st
Doors open 6:00 pm
Swoon, Swindle, and… Stake? Join us for a custom murder mystery experience where guests take on the role of vampires vying for power, vampire killers on the hunt, or regular folk who heard about a fancy dinner and are suddenly WAY over their heads. The best part? You don’t know what role your new friends may be playing!
This dinner experience is special for a number of reasons, but most prominently it marks the next installment of our annual fundraising collaboration with the wonderful folks of Greencastle’s own restaurant and lounge, The Whisk. You read that correctly, this event is also fundraising for community entertainment to promote social well-being, economic development, and more. This custom module is designed by our experienced team of Putnam County locals and is but one of our many Dinners to Die For that we put on each year. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter and follow our social media if you are interested in more events like this, trivia nights, tabletop rpgs, outdoor recreation, or any kind of local entertainment and joy.
Characters will be assigned at the door for this event, so no need to fuss with remembering a character bio beforehand. Our experienced team will also be on hand to help answer questions, get comfortable with your characters, or anything else. Everyone is encouraged to dress as your favorite vampire, but of course any fancy dinner attire should suffice. We may have some props available for attendees to borrow after arrival.
Dinner is included with ticket price, and every Mixology and Murder includes a brief cocktail lesson, and associated cocktail (or mocktail), from the artisans at The Whisk. Guests should expect to do their fair share of socializing as they discover each other’s identity, get away with their schemes, and expose murderers!

Costume Guidelines:
This event is an all-inclusive vampire party. Think of your favorite type of vampire, and dress like that. If you can’t come up with anything, you can always default to formal wear - you won’t feel out of place. But be on notice: there will be an award for best costume.
