Muncie, IN— What happens when summer camp meets mystery theatre? Minnetrista Museum & Gardens invites you to find out at Camp Cryptid, a 21+ immersive theatre experience filled with suspense, humor, and just enough eeriness to keep you guessing. Join us on September 19 or September 20, from 6:30–9:30 p.m. in the Center Building for an unforgettable night of interactive storytelling.

At Camp Cryptid, the lines between audience and actor blur. Guests will find themselves dropped into the middle of a camp gone awry—complete with disorderly counselors, missing campers, and strange sounds rustling through the trees after dark. You won’t just watch the story unfold—you’ll become part of it, gathering clues, interrogating characters, and working alongside fellow guests to crack the case.

Each ticket includes a complimentary cocktail or mocktail and delicious appetizers to fuel your investigation. A cash bar will also be available throughout the evening.

“This isn’t a performance you sit back and watch—it’s an experience you step into,” said Kirsten Novotny, Theatre & Events Manager at Minnetrista. “Every guest becomes part of the story, witnessing the mystery as it unfolds. Are you brave enough to join us at Camp Cryptid?”

Sip, sleuth, and step into the story at Camp Cryptid—purchase your advance tickets now and guarantee your place at Camp Cryptid.
