Mysteries are best solved in good company.
A private little society for curious minds and convivial evenings. Wit, observation and the shared pleasure of the unexplained.
Every good mystery begins with an invitation. This one is yours.
Open your invitation
“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.”
“Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot.”
“My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work…”
“You see, but you do not observe.”
“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.”
“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
“The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.”
“I can resist everything except temptation.”
“The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”
“Curiouser and curiouser!”
Where we meet
The Lantern & Key
Est. Sometime. Somewhere.
It doesn't matter where. It doesn't matter when. What matters is who you're with.
