JUNE 2026 EVENTS CALENDAR

6/6 Friday 7pm Madcapped Mysteries, Times Square NYC

Madcapped Mysteries: The Most Original Murder Mystery Experience, EVERAKA THE MAD LIB MURDERS! Welcome to the most original mystery show of all time, as our top detective and your guests create a completely original story, and every guest becomes a character.

  • 6/6 TIMES SQUARE NYC 7pm $30 plus a 2 drink minimum.
  • EMAIL for group sales and private events. We send our detectives to private events DC to Boston and beyond. This is one of our most popular shows right now with 40th birthday parties, smaller corporate events, and even teen events at libraries.

The most original murder mystery show of all time because it’s created on the spot by you and your guests. Our professional Detective and Improv comedian leads the storytelling, and by the end of the night everyone is a character – witness, suspect, friend and family and the crime and it’s solution are completely original. It’s like being in a crime drama movie.

The show starts like a mad libs book, or the popular improv game, call ’em’s. Our professional comedian, and decorated murder mystery detective, leads the crowd to establish a crime. As in an improv show, we create the WHO WHERE WHAT of a crime scene.

Over the the course of the next 20-30 minutes, every guest becomes a characters, created organically thru the interactions of the MC and guests. We meet various public servants, from the Mayor to the coroner to the District Attorney as well as the Victim’s friends, family and coworkers.

Eventually a handful os characters are named as suspects, while everyone else becomes a deputy, teaming up to interogate these dubious characters and solve the crime.

Prizes are awarded to the best answers to WHO DID IT, HOW, WHERE AND WHY, as well as best actor and best costume. Yes, we hope you will embrace your roll in the show and perhaps even dress up and add to the fun.

DIY MURDER MYSTERY PARTY SCRIPTS

Every one of these scripts has been written for a show I produced and performed. My most popular show is The Cat’s Meow. I love the Jazzy Roaring 20s. Most popular with teens is the Great Gatzby spoof. MY FAVE script however is the Gothic Garden Soiree – Romeo & Juliet meets House of Usher with OLD money struggling in modern times.
