The Amazing Chase: A Murder Mystery Game

Daniel Burnham murdered? By whom? Louis Sullivan? Bertha Palmer? Edward Bennett? Join the Glencoe Historical Society for a fun-filled afternoon (rain or shine) as the society's annual Amazing Chase turns into a mystery based on the board game Clue. Learn about Burnham, Bennett, Palmer and all the players from 1909 (and others) as teams -- families or just groups of friends -- travel around the "board" in downtown Glencoe to find ou t how the architect was killed and by whom. Was it Sullivan in the Village Hall with the tee-square? That's for the teams to figure out!

Meet at 2 p.m. at the Glencoe Historical Society's Eklund History Center, 377 Park Ave., for full instructions and playing equipment. Free admission but reservations required. Call 847-835-0040.
