When the lights go out and the last guest leaves, the Museum falls into silence. But within the silence… something stirs. The portraits breathe. The sculptures blink. And last night, someone climbed to the roof and never came back down. Zoey Zielman, a curious spirit and restless voice among the artworks, was found dead on the rooftop at dawn. No alarms were tripped. No cameras caught the crime. Only a trail of shadows… and whispers. She was searching for something. Someone. Secrets she shouldn’t have known. Now the others return to their frames with trembling hands and heavy glances.
Don your trench coat, grab your magnifying glass, and step into the shadows—this case won’t solve itself. Dress the part, Detective. Your investigation, designed for ages 18+, begins on October 16 at OKCMOA. Your ticket gets you a Case File to help you solve the mystery.
Bonus! Detectives ages 21+ can enjoy Moderns’ Hallow Happy Hour on the Roof Terrace the same night as Murder Mystery Night. Visitors must present their ID and wear a wristband to attend.
