Watson's SOS! A Sherlockian Murder Mystery Pub Crawl in Asheville
Overview
From the creative team of 5-star pub crawls 'Cryptids & Creatures' and 'A Christmas Carol' in Asheville comes the newest tour: 'Watson's SOS! A Sherlockian Pub Crawl in Asheville' - a murder mystery experience set against the backdrop of Asheville's legendary South Slope brewery scene.
You're not just along for the ride - Watson needs you! Sherlock has vanished mid-case, the murders haven't stopped, so Dr. Watson is desperately recruiting the sharpest minds he can find.
That's where you come in: move bar to bar through some of Asheville's best craft beer destinations, gathering clues, cracking codes, and channeling your inner detective - guided every step of the way by a seasoned, unflappable Watson who keeps the story alive from the first pint to the final reveal.
This isn't dinner theater - it's a living, breathing mystery that puts you in the starring role!
