Step into the thrilling world of fictional crime with the City of Swan Library's Crime Capers Quiz Night. Perfect for fans of crime novels, television shows, and movies, this event offers an engaging and interactive experience. Sharpen your detective skills as you tackle questions about famous crime characters and stories.
Unlike a typical quiz night, this event includes a bonus mystery to solve, with clues to find and evidence to collect. Teams of 3-4 friends can enjoy a lively evening filled with suspense, laughter, and the chance to win book prizes. Bring your snacks and beverages to make the night even more enjoyable.
This event is tailored for adults aged 18 and over who love a good whodunit and want to challenge their knowledge in a social and fun setting.
The quiz night will be hosted by crime author Shaeden Berry, who will guide participants through rounds of questions about iconic fictional detectives and crime stories. Expect a mix of trivia and hands-on mystery-solving activities that will keep you on your toes.
Teams will compete to demonstrate their expertise on characters like Miss Marple, Aaron Falk, and shows such as Midsomer Murders and New Tricks. The event encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and a bit of friendly competition.
Photography and videography may be taken during the event for promotional purposes, so be prepared to be part of the community spotlight.
