After conducting sessions all over the country, this Canadian based event is making its way to Great Falls on Saturday, March 30, 2024.
Ethan from Hourglass Adventures explained, “[You look for] the perpetrator, the motive behind it, and the murder weapon. Once you find all three of the items then you’ll have escaped the city and hopefully have the murderer locked away for good!”
