The Hardcover Hoodlum — Tabletop Puzzle Game

The Mystery League is teaming up with Eureka Heights Brew Co for another edition of…

The Hardcover Hoodlum

The Hardcover Hoodlum is a two-hour puzzle game by The Mystery League. You and your team are detectives in the Booker & Booker Detective Agency, investigating a suspect who is writing noir mystery novels under a bunch of different pseudonyms. Over two hours, you'll solve dozens of puzzles, eliminating the books one by one until you determine which of the books is the manifesto for his next crime. 

I'll put attendees into teams of 5-6. If you'd like to be teamed up with other folks who register, buy your tickets in one order, or include the names of your teammates on your ticket form, or drop me a line at sandor@mysteryleague.com. (If you reserve multiple tickets in one order, all those folks will be seated together.)

The game should last 2 hours, and I'll hang out afterwards as long as people want to stay.

Your ticket includes one (1) drink token, for a beer, hard seltzer, wine, cider or a non-alcoholic beverage. Your token is only valid during the event and for 30 minutes after.

Food: Eureka hosts a food truck on-site. You're also welcome to bring in food from other places, or have it delivered.

Under 21: All ages are welcome, but guests under 21 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

I look forward to seeing you there!

"I attended my first Mystery League event last night and it was so much fun - challenging, detailed, the story and puzzles were engaging. I'm new to town and it was a great way to meet new people, loved the atmosphere. Everyone was super friendly and the time flew by too fast. Loved it and will be back again!! Would recommend this to basically anyone who enjoys having fun :-)" -Nicole
