The calendar has flipped to November, which means the annual office holiday party planning is underway. We have all been to that party—the one with the lukewarm appetizers, the awkward silence near the punch bowl, and the team checking their watches by 7:00 PM.
This December, don’t just throw a party; throw a crime scene.
Whether it’s a fully staged Murder Mystery Show or an interactive “Clues” style scavenger hunt, turning your holiday gathering into a “whodunnit” adventure is the best gift you can give your team. It transforms a passive social gathering into an active, memorable event.
We offer three distinct ways to bring a little mystery to your festivities:
1. The Murder Mystery Show
Sit back, enjoy your dinner, and watch the drama unfold. Professional comedic actors infiltrate your party (often in 1920s flapper gear, tacky holiday sweaters, or masquerade attire). A crime is committed, and your team becomes the detectives. They interrogate suspects, bribe characters for info, and try to crack the case before dessert is served.
2. The “Clue” Party
Some or all of your team play characters in our story. Everyone is simultaneously suspect and Detective, collecting clues and backstreet about each other’s characters. Our Detective leads the fun.
3. Madcapped Mysteries
The most original murder mystery show EVER! Our lead detective and your team create an original crime drama from this air. A round of human “MadLibs” quickly becomes intruding the characters in our story (your colleagues). This show is the ultimate creative team building experience!
Solving the Team Building Puzzle
While the goal is to catch the killer, the real result is a tighter, more connected team. Solving a fake crime engages the brain in a way that standard cocktail chatter never could.
Because the mystery demands attention to detail, your team is naturally pulled away from their phones and grounded in the moment. There is no time to worry about Q4 spreadsheets when you are trying to figure out if the butler is lying.
It also forces genuine collaboration. To solve the riddles or catch the culprit, departments that usually don’t interact have to debate theories and listen to each other’s hunches. Best of all, the campy, theatrical nature of the crime allows everyone to drop their professional guard. There is nothing like accusing your boss of being a “bootlegger” to break the ice and get everyone laughing.
Any Venue becomes the Scene of the Crime
Whether you are hosting a gala at a rented banquet hall, a casual dinner at a local restaurant, or a catered event right in your office lobby, we bring the mystery to you.
The clock is ticking on December dates!
