The operatives at
The Ministry of Mundane Mysteries (now making their Chicago debut with Bramble Theatre after originating with Toronto s Outside the March) do not offer your usual interactive show. This is apparent even before their sleuthing properly begins. After procuring a ticket, you must divulge the details of an especially vexing mystery from your life. It must be something you want solved. It can’t be anything too nefarious no murders or kidnappings and the like.
Your case file initiated, you will receive a call from an unknown number nightly (or daily, if you prefer) for the next six days, Monday through Saturday. By the end of the final call, the Ministry will have solved your mystery.
