With top-notch camp counselors and the wild forest as a backdrop, Camp Crackerjack is the best place to spend summer vacation! But when a body is found during the Annual Crackerjack Scavenger Hunt, the camp turns deadly, and the hunters become the hunted. Can you ask the right questions, find the clues, and stop the killer before you become the next viction?

Pizza and drinks will be served.
