The Interactive Inquest for Sharp-Eyed Teams
The Murder Mystery is an immersive, scripted crime drama that turns participants into both investigators and potential suspects as they race to unmask a killer hidden in their own ranks. Teams must navigate a web of deception, hunting for clues hidden throughout the venue or earned through competitive mini-games and secondary cases. This high-stakes challenge demands sharp analytical skills to sift through evidence and shrewd negotiation tactics to trade or even fabricate information with rival groups. By blending theatrical storytelling with strategic play, the experience tests a team’s ability to maintain trust and communicate effectively while under the pressure of a ticking clock and a “whodunnit” plot.

Program details
In the Murder Mystery, one of the participants unknowingly plays the part of a murderer. A cast of volunteers from the teams will use the provided scripts and props to act out the initial crime and a few meaningful moments that come after it.
You and your team will be tasked with conducting the following investigation in order to determine the identity and motive of the murderer.
Clues will become available throughout the time of the event in various forms: some will be present around the venue, some will be given out by the lead investigator, others have to be won by solving secondary cases or winning fun mini-games.
Good analytical skills are a must, but negotiation skills will also become central as solving the mystery requires each team to trade clues with the others. Will you share information freely, withhold crucial details or even fabricate evidence? That is up to you to decide!
If you enjoy puzzles and playing into an entertaining storyline, then the Murder Mystery may be the ideal fit for you!

Frequently Asked Questions, answered
What happens in the Murder Mystery?
One participant unknowingly plays the murderer, while volunteers from the teams act out the opening scenes. Teams then investigate the crime, gathering clues, solving secondary cases and negotiating with other teams to uncover the killer and the motive.
How is it different from the AI Murder Mystery?
This one is a scripted drama with fiction pre-assigned roles your team plays. The AI version is customized, built around your actual company, with colleagues nominated as suspects and AI-generated suspects your team interrogates on their phones.
What if someone doesn’t want to act?
Acting is not required for everyone. Only a number of volunteers are needed for the scripted scenes, while everyone else can participate through the investigation, clue-solving and negotiation.
Who does it suit?
It is particularly suited to teams that enjoy puzzles, storytelling, investigation and strategic interaction. It is a good choice for groups looking for a more mentally engaging team-building experience.
Can we run it in our own office, or do we need a venue?
It is an indoor activity and can be run at your office if there is sufficient space for the teams, clues and activities. Alternatively, we can arrange a suitable venue.
