Fall 2025

Project Website

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Billy Jo Jive Super Private Eye books and animated shorts created in 1976 by Ted & John Shearer, the Sunset, Jive, & Hive team is creating a themed location-based, mixed-media interactive experience. Guests are invited to join Jive's detective agency and explore his crime lab to help him and Smart Susie Sunset solve mysteries. In this escape room-like experience for youth aged 10-12, guests must communicate and collaborate to solve a series of puzzles that lead to the mystery's culprit. Our team aims to bring the transformational impact of the original work forward to the next generation with a focus on positive representation, gender equality, critical thinking skills, and literacy through culture and Jive-talkin' slang.
