My wife and I participated in the MOTL and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were with another couple and their 4 pre-teen grandchildren who really got into the 'spirit' of the adventure (and their enthusiasm was contagious!) We learned some local history, took a walking tour of the town, got access to a few historical sites, and had fun gathering the... more

We did not know what to expect - and we were not disappointed! My children ages 9 & 12 did not complain once during the almost 3 hours "on tour". Delightful characters - very well thought out. Plan to go before or after lunch - it takes a while to get around. more

Everything about this - from booking to the final resolution - was professional, thorough and organized. The Mystery itself was intriguing and fun, outstanding "actors", audience involvement and enough mystery solving challenge to make the 17 yo and the 65 yo in the group both totally absorbed. The Shaw Plays are wonderful, but this allowed us to enjoy walking throughout... more

I attended the Mystery on the Lake performance of the Secret of Buttlersberg on Saturday August 8. My guest and I found the performances hugely entertaining and the separate locations intriguing and informative. The refreshment stops were timely and typical of the charm of the Old Town. Sharing the historic walk and solving separate riddles along the way helped us... more

A good and interesting way to spend an afternoon in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Mystery on the Lake takes you on an interesting journey through the town and ends at Fort George all led by actors posing as quasi-historic figures. The guests have to solve a mystery. They gain a clue with each stop along the route. A good way to meet people,... more

Mystery-on-the-Lake is a fun-filled outing for both tourists and locals. Interact with actors to solve a mystery while visiting local attractions and historical sights. Meet new people too! It takes a few hours so wear some comfy shoes. You'll have a drink and a snack as part of the tour but that's all I'll say so I don't ruin any... more
