BUFORD, Ga. - GeorgiaChron -- For a tantalizing twist on "trick-or-treating," Georgia's Lanier Islands Resort takes advantage of spooky season to play host to a Murder Mystery Weekend™ Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1. The three-day interactive experience – produced by Keith & Margo's Murder Mystery Nationwide – will feature suspicious characters, unexpected twists, and hidden clues. It will also include plenty of reasons for would-be sleuths to question everyone around them while indulging in delicious cocktails, expertly prepared meals, and deluxe accommodations as the mystery unfolds nightly.

"We love that our Murder Mystery Weekend aligns with Halloween, adding an undeniable air of whimsy to our who-dun-it," said Lanier Islands Resort President Matthew Bowling. "In addition to enhancing our Fall event calendar in a frightfully fun way, this event provides a cool twist on your typical date weekend. Guests can take advantage of any downtime in between sleuthing sessions to relax in their room, get a couples massage, explore our scenic lakeside trails, or review the clues in the glow of one of our firepits."
