Murder Mystery Room

During the Adults Social Hour you will have the opportunity to witness a murder… just kidding! Please Join the Balderdashes on Saturday night for an hour and a half of sleuthing and accusations as our Detective Inspector Napp, assisted by Suzanne Richard and her fellow sleuths Ann Marie Geiger, J.P. Richard, and Shashi Bangera get to the bottom of poor Lersham’s murder.  At the moment, three of the suspects are still at large and we are looking for assistance from three intrepid conference attendees to help flesh them out. Please contact Suzanne Richard at open.circle.dc@gmail.com if you are interested in playing a role.

Virtual Escape Room

Game night aficionados & puzzle solvers unite! In this breakout room, you will have to work together with other members of the OI community and test your “break out” skills by attempting to escape a secure zoom room. We doubt you would ever want to escape the Adults Social Hour, but in this room we highly recommend it!

New this year, we are excited to feature captioning as well as live Spanish and French translation during the most popular informational sessions!
