What is the Peirce Mystery Dinner?
Typically held in November, Mystery Dinner is Peirce's largest fundraiser and a fun way for the adults in the community to enjoy an evening of socializing, food, and drink. The evening begins with a cocktail hour at 6PM. There, guests select the name of a dinner host from the bingo wheel, directing them to a house where they’ll attend a small dinner with 8-16 other Peirce parents. At the end of the small dinner parties, the Mystery Home hosting dessert is revealed, and all attendees congregate there for an end-of-the-night gathering. The Mystery Dinner raises approximately $15k through ticket sales and donations – enough to cover the cost of Creative Arts and Sciences (CAS) programming for all Peirce students.

Example Evening Timeline:

  • 6:00PM - Cocktail Hour – Enjoy drinks, appetizers and music with friends new and old to discover your Mystery Dinner Host location.
  • 7:30PM – Time to head to your Dinner Host's Home with other Peirce families to enjoy dinner and drinks.
  • 9:30PM – All Peirce families will reconvene at the Mystery Dessert Host Home for more fun.
