"Welcome to the Home Sweet Home Boardinghouse, where life is anything but normal.
Miss Harriet runs a clean, cozy home with the help of her perpetually terrified Tweenie, and accompanied by as zany a cast of boarders as you are likely to meet. There’s Mr. Richards, the poet who practices dying to spark his inspiration. Gladys Klotz is a taxidermist who has a direct line to the spirit world, while Martha Willis has every imaginable illness. Poor Hortense tries her best to keep up with Ivy, a free-spirited artist who enjoys painting people’s faces, whether they want to be painted or not. Finally, the suave and mysterious Dirk Shadow and his sister Veronica have just arrived on the scene to hunt for Captain Schnook’s pirate treasure buried in the basement. Leave it to the clever and ever-vigilant Dr. Sni-fell to unravel the mystery."
Join the cast to solve a wacky mystery of a hidden treasure!
