'Death by Chocolate' takes a 'Bachelor/Bachelorette' theme

The 18th annual murder mystery auction and fundraiser “Death by Chocolate” will take place Friday and Saturday, April 26 and 27, at the Conrad Mansion Museum in Kalispell.

This year’s theme is “Murder at the Fairytale Ball.”

Cinderella and a cast of princes and princesses will watch as the “Bachelor Prince” decides which “Bachelorette” he will give his royal rose. See who will survive the ceremony … and who won’t!

“Death by Chocolate” features a devious cast of characters, hidden clues, fabulous food and drink, great prize giveaways, and a lot of chocolate. Guests attempt to solve the mystery, while keeping a lookout for clues in each room of the Conrad Mansion. The plot for “Death by Chocolate,” written by local radio personality Leah Lindsay, highlights a different murderer each night.

Guests are encouraged to dress in fairytale or Disney-themed costume. The event is for adults 21 year and older.

Regular tickets are $70 per person and VIP tickets are $125 per person. Tickets are available for purchase at the Conrad Mansion. The Conrad Mansion is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The historic Conrad Mansion Museum is located at 330 Woodland Ave..
