Murder Mystery

WHODUNNIT?

Our full show with immersive characters, melodramatic scenes, a hilariously tragic death and a bumbling detective.that needs your help to solve the crime.

Variations of a CLUE party get your guests into the action even more as a variety of characters interviewing each other to discover clues to solve a crime.

Our perhaps the most original true crime show of all time, our detective leads your team on creating the most wonderfully bizarre show of all time. The show starts like a MAD LIBS story, with our EMCEE getting story ideas from the guests. In short order, guests are assigned characters and adding to the plot. By the end of the first part of the show, everyone is a witness, person of interest, or other townsperson – Mayor, Chief of Police, District Attorney’s, Coroner, etc.
