Hermès invites you to mute your doom-scrolling and come play detective. Starting June 19, the house is transforming New York’s Pier 36 into a life-size mystery novel titled “Mystery at the Grooms,” an immersive adventure through six theatrically designed rooms where—quelle horreur!—an entire herd of "horses" has bolted. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to follow tiny hoofprints and decode clues narrated by a velvet-voiced storyteller named Mr. Honoré (yes, like the rue du Faubourg), and corral the runaways before the clock strikes 60 minutes.
Naturally, Hermès can’t resist a visual feast for the eyes, so expect the décor to wow as hard as it works. Carrots the size of riding boots sprout from hay bales in The Pantry; silk-bound books swing open to reveal secret passages in The Library; somewhere in The Dormitory, a pedigree horse is allegedly napping beneath a Rocabar blanket.
