We provide mix-and-mingle events for private parties, conferences and other corporate events where attendees play the characters in a murder mystery clue party. They interact and answer questions as they talk to each other. It helps to break the ice and get people comfortable with one another. In the end, the best answer to the mystery and the person voted best actor are winners!
We have many pre-set scenarios to choose from. Once settled, we can share with you costume suggestions for the characters so that you can preassign them and share the information. Remember, they have a chance to win as the best actor!
We ship the box of material directly to you. This way, if we have to swap hosts at the last minute, which has happened, you already have the material. Our host meets with you and looks at the space just before the event. Preparing the materials, our host gets ready to begin and deal with any last-minute issues.
The host comes in and announces that there has been a crime. The scenario is read and the envelopes are distributed, if they haven't been already. Everyone opens those envelopes with their information at the same time and begins speaking with one another. If there are any extra characters, our host plays those characters for comedic effect. They try to determine who had the Means, Motive and Opportunity to have committed the crime. Everyone had at least one, most will have had two, but only one person had all three...and that's the murderer!
Our host does a reverse reveal, where characters are asked in the room for the vital information that answers the question at hand, "Who is the murderer?" Prizes are given to the person who caught the murderer with the most correct information, or the murderer if they got away with it! Another prize is given to the person voted the Best Actor!
This 1920s themed murder of the owner of a speakeasy that leads to an investigation by your attendees...a collective group of people that are all doing things that they shouldn't be. Who is the culprit?
Your attendees take on the role of various people invited the party of a reputed mob boss that...let's say...takes an early retirement this evening. Why involve the cops? Time to solve the murder yourselves! You'll laugh...if you know what's good for you!
You are going to the estate of a multi-millionaire for the social event of the season. Various characters are there for various reasons. Some on business, some for pleasure, and some for more sinister reasons or even employees of the estate.
Our own take on the spy genre has the death of a spy whose word is his Bond. You Only Live Twice? Not so fast! The attendees get to play a rogues gallery of suspects. it's a great way to have outlandish fun with bizarre characters!
Your attendees have all been invited to a wine tasting at the home of a millionaire. The corks aren't the only things that get popped. If only the victim could still breathe like the wine, or still continue to age.
We have with many other scenarios involving celebrities, a yacht, spies, haunted houses, holiday parties, the 1980s, a peace rally, and many many more. These themes are sometimes aimed at specific age groups and can work for your group.

OUR GREEN COMMITMENT While ultimately we serve our clients in the way that they require, we work hard to reduce our impact on the environment in our never-ending struggle to help our clients and the communities we serve. We recycle, utilize local talent when preferable, and look to leave places better than we found them. When we do travel, we take pains to reduce our impact on the environment. This is not an obsession, just an indicator of our desire to serve our clients rather than ourselves. After all, it's not about us. It is about what THEY, our clients, need!
WE COME TO YOU!
We work with groups that are small, medium and large. We also work with people that are in the city, the suburbs, and that are in more rural areas. It never made sense to get our own facilities. We come to a venue of your choosing and this allows you to make your own food and beverage options. In general, you want enough light to see, enough space to move around comfortably, and it should be quiet enough to hear. Everything else can be adjusted to. We also have our insurance in order and can have COIs with your venue as an additional insured, if required.
The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.
We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our costs and availability. Something tomorrow may be more difficult and dates around holidays will be more expensive. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.
If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
I heard fantastic reviews about the improv show last night! Apparently everyone is still talking about it this morning.
