As a young child, Sidney Squid always heard the tales about the Wild Boloney, a mythical creature that lives in the wilds of Newfoundland. Tales that varied of descriptions, locations, habits, and size. The wild boloney is quite prolific in NL folklore as there have been stories and songs written, videos, and even beers created in celebration of these creatures.

Sid’s desire and curiosity to learn more about the wild boloney and its existence, lead him to a career in cryptozoology. After searching for the majority of his professional career, Sid Squid says he has indeed discovered evidence that the wild boloney are real, a creature thought to be legend. He has invited the crème de la crème of the scientific and not-so-scientific world to a gathering where he plans to present his evidence. Just as they are about to unveil the evidence though, Sid dies before he can get a chance to show off this new discovery. You must figure out who killed him and why. Is there evidence that the elusive wild baloney really exists? Be aware that there will be red herrings that will direct you away from the real killer. Examine the evidence and keep your eyes and ears open.

Tickets: $35 +HST
