While the full weekend packages are sold out, tickets are still available for the Search for Clues Tour Sat., March 17 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Gather the evidence you need as you explore Victorian Cape May and unravel the clues to solve the crime. You’ll tour the interiors of a selection of Cape May’s Victorian treasures where you’ll uncover clues and complete your answer sheet. The Search for Clues Tour is $15 per person. Anyone completing an answer sheet is eligible to win the Sherlock Holmes Weekend $250 grand prize and need not be present to win.

The production takes place at 8 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, Decatur and Hughes streets. General admission $25, full-time students $15, ages 18 and under are free.
