How does the murder mystery work?
Suspicious characters are afoot at Totally Killer Prom. You will be provided with a program at check-in that will give you clues on who you should look out for. But keep an eye out on this night—you never know what might happen…
Your table will work as a team to solve the crime and make your best guess of whodunit and why. The best guess wins a prize at the end of the evening.
When and where is the event being held?
The Atlantis Resort Casino Spa in the Paradise Ballroom Room & Terrace.

Doors open at 5:00. The event will end at about 8:00.
When do I get my ticket(s)?
There are no physical tickets for this event. We collect the names of all of your attendees so that you and your guests can easily come to check-in. At check-in, you will receive your table assignment, program, and can purchase Victim In Performance Raffle tickets.
What does this support?
PBS Reno's annual Murder Mystery supports the programs you love to watch on our multiple platforms. From favorites like Midsomer Murders and Grantchester, to local highlights like ARTEFFECTS, PBS Reno addresses a fundamental need for free, educational, and informative programming in a rapidly changing media landscape. As costs continue to rise and many Americans lack access to affordable, trusted content, PBS Reno serves as a vital source of trusted information and entertainment, available to all regardless of their geographic location in our 75,000 square mile service area or economic standing.
