Fodor's Expert Review The Harry Packer Mansion

19 Packer Hill Rd., Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, 18229, USA Fodor's Choice

Hitchcock fans and Clue lovers rejoice—the Harry Packer Mansion takes the murder-mystery dinner experience to a whole new level. Every weekend, this Victorian mansion-turned-bed-and-breakfast hosts interactive murder-mystery weekends based on real historical events. Guests are assigned characters Friday night, and the mystery takes place over three sessions Saturday. And while these innovative weekends are certainly the mansion’s main draw, its wallpapered rooms featuring period furniture are certainly an added bonus.

PROS

  • convenient Jim Thorpe location
  • excellent value

CONS

  • children under 18 aren’t allowed to participate in the murder mystery
  • awkward if you come during a murder-mystery weekend and don’t want to participate
