Come experience the Sanctuary after-hours for a special Howl-oween Clue event!

Every Halloween, strange things seem to disappear around the Sanctuary. Staff have blamed the wolfdogs for years, but we've never been able to prove it. This year, something particularly important has gone missing. We've gathered the evidence. We've identified the suspects. Now, we need a team of investigators to figure out what really happened.

We’ll kick off the evening with a mini Intro Tour featuring Halloween-themed enrichment and a deeper dive into the history of werewolves. We’ll take a closer look at where the legend of the werewolf came from, how wolves became part of these stories, and where fact ends and folklore begins.

Then, it’s time to put your detective skills to the test.

Step into a real-life, Sanctuary-wide game of CLUE and work your way from enclosure to enclosure as you piece together the mystery. Can you figure out WHO (which pack) stole WHAT (the missing item) and WHERE (which enclosure)?

Play on your own or team up with a group of up to 6 players. Every player must register for the event.

Never played CLUE before? No problem! We’ll get you set up with everything you need to know before the game begins, along with a few twists we have planned along the way. 👀

Youth ages 10 and older are welcome to join the fun!
