THE CRIMSON COLD CREAM
An Immersive Murder Mystery Evening
The year is 1929. A glamorous film star has traveled in secret to Victor, Colorado — seeking refuge from the Hollywood spotlight and the restorative powers of a famous handmade rose cold cream. Tonight, at an exclusive private reception inside The Lovely Rose Apothecary, she steps into the back room to refresh herself, applies the cream, and drops dead.
The cream was poisoned. The killer is still in the room. And you are about to find out who did it.
Set inside our 127-year-old apothecary in the heart of historic Victor — a building that once served this gold mining town as its original pharmacy — The Crimson Cold Cream is a fully immersive, interactive murder mystery for 16 guests. Choose your role: step into the shoes of one of ten suspects, each carrying a private motive and a dangerous secret, or take your place among five sharp-eyed investigators racing to name the killer before the evening ends. Dinner, period cocktail mixers, and an evening you will not soon forget are all included.
One night. Sixteen guests. One killer in the room.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT — THE VICTOR HOTEL (Coming Soon)
Tickets + Overnight Stay
Why solve a murder and then drive home? The Victor Hotel has been welcoming guests since 1894 — the same year our apothecary first opened its doors — and there is no more fitting place to rest after an evening in 1929. Set in a beautifully preserved Victorian atmosphere where 19th-century charm still pampers every guest, the Victor Hotel offers the kind of unhurried, indulgent hospitality that belongs to another era entirely. Walk to the event, walk back, and wake up the next morning still wrapped in the mood of the night before.
Purchase option: Tickets + Victor Hotel. Includes 2 tickets and 1 night stay (July 25, 2026)
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT — THE BLACK MONARCH HOTEL
An Alternative Stay for the Adventurous Guest
If a murdered film star and a poisoned cold cream have whetted your appetite for the darker side of history, The Black Monarch Hotel is waiting for you. A former casino and brothel at the center of Victor, beautifully renovated to honor its extraordinary past, the Black Monarch houses themed rooms that read like chapters from a true crime archive — Jack the Ripper, Lizzie Borden, and beyond. These walls have witnessed gunfights, hauntings, a devastating fire in 1899, and the eccentric presence of Nikola Tesla himself. It is, in short, the only logical place to sleep after a murder mystery.
