Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2026
Doors open at 18:15; the performance starts at 19:00 and runs open-ended (ticket listings show until about 23:59). Between courses, the live crime story unfolds: three friends enjoy a wellness weekend with yoga and Pilates – until charming trainer Jürgen disrupts the idyll. Organisers deliberately reveal no more. Guests help solve the case without having to perform on stage.
The format comes from REXER & DINNEREVENTS.CH and takes place in the Bären hall on the first floor. Menu details are on the Gasthof Bären website; vegetarian options and allergy notes should be requested in advance. Drinks (apart from the included aperitif glass) are extra.
