WHO KILLED 2026? A New Year’s Eve Pickleball Party & Murder Mystery

8:00 PM–12:30 AM • All Levels Welcome

Something terrible has happened at Smash Courts... 2026 has been murdered. Before we can welcome 2027, we need to figure out WHO did it, HOW they did it and WHY.

Join us for a completely different kind of New Year's Eve — an evening of pickleball, cornhole ($15 to enter cornhole tournament), poker, potluck, music, mystery and fun, ending with a champagne toast and countdown to 2027.

Come play a few games, challenge your friends, grab some food, investigate the suspects, play a little euchre or cornhole, and enjoy the party at your own pace.

- Appetizer Potluck = Bring an appetizer to share! Homemade or store-bought, sweet or savoury — anything goes. We'll create one giant Smash Courts appetizer spread for everyone to enjoy.

- Party + Music: Because solving a murder is more fun with good music.

- Midnight Champagne Toast: At 11:45, everyone comes together for the final reveal, champagne and the countdown.

- WHO KILLED 2026? The Mystery: You'll be assigned to a detective team, or maybe you are culpret ?. Work together, question suspects, collect clues and solve the case.

10 suspects.

30+ clues.

100 detectives.

12 pickleball courts.

1 very suspicious New Year's Eve.

Can your team solve the mystery before midnight?
