Judge Dee & The Haunted Garden

A Haunted House Like No Other

Open: 7pm - 10pm (entry every 10 minutes)

This Halloween… the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Garden… is HAUNTED.

The storm outside is the heaviest in years. Your cart winds along a steep mountain trail. With a roar of thunder, the axel breaks. With a flash of lightening, you glance at the surrounding hillside. It looks like you’ll have to spend the night in the old Monastery where three women mysteriously died last year….

Will you make it out alive?

Join us this Halloween as, for the first time ever, we transform the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden into a terrifying theatrical Haunted House. Featuring nearly 30 actors, dancers and musicians, this one-of-a-kind experience is inspired by Robert Van Gulik’s classic Judge Dee murder mysteries. Brave the Garden’s haunted pathways, uncover clues, then warm your bones at the old Tea House as you try to piece together the crime. But WATCH OUT! You never know what may be lurking around the next corner….

Can you and Judge Dee solve the case before the next victim meets her gruesome fate?

WARNING: Not for young children or the faint of heart!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Pick your Judge Dee show date. Purchase your tickets at the door or over the phone at 604-662-3207.
2. Show up anytime between 7 and 10pm. We’ll let in audiences of 10 every 10 minutes.
3. Enjoy! The experience is roughly 30 minutes. Follow the path without pausing, or seek refuge awhile halfway through in the old Tea House where strange delicacies await. Your ticket is valid for the whole evening, so if you make it out alive you can always line up to enter again.

WHO WAS JUDGE DEE?
Judge Dee was a famous detective in Tang Dynasty China. Inspired by the stories celebrating his impeccable record of catching crooks, 20th Century author Robert van Gulik wrote a series of original murder mysteries featuring Judge Dee - China’s Sherlock Holmes. Judge Dee is now the subject of a major motion picture: ‘Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame’.

This Halloween, SOLVE THE MYSTERY…. IF YOU DARE.
