CLUE PARTY: Immersive Murder Mystery Experience!
More and more our top selling events are immersive experiences lead by a single professional performers. We have doubled down to offer the very best options that allow your friends, family and colleagues to do so much more than just watch a show, offering a most memorable experience. While these experiences are also less expensive, they are far more high impactful and memorable.
What is a clue party?
A clue party means many or all of your guests are characters in a murder mystery game, akin to being immersed inside a Knives Out, Agatha Christy or CLUE the movie type scenario. We have numerous themes, but for each, our detective arrives with a stack of invitations for 10-40 characters as well as answer sheets AND murder boards (a place to take notes etc).
WHO KILLED HUGH GETSME: The Great Gatsby themed Murder Mystery CLUE PARTY Game: We turn any room into the ball room of East Egg Cruise Lines!
These invitations are addressed to characters in the story. When each guest opens theirs, a character bio (written in first person, they could literally read from the sheet if not feeling whi.sically creative) and a set of clues – motives, locations and weapons, about other characters. Then, after we announce the scene of the crime, everyone is set loose to mingle and interogate each other, as SUSPECT AND DETECTIVE, or as we jokingly call it SPEED DATING FOR SUSPECTS.
By collecting ALL the clues and keeping an open mind, the solution is easy. BUT ALAS, human nature latches on to red herrings that sound too good to ignore. Anyone that solves the crime gets a prize. If no one wins the winner gets a prize.
These shows have been a huge hit in NYC, Westchester, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and more. Numerous themes include 1920s Speakeasy, the NOT So Gilded Age, Small Town Murders, and our Great Gatzby based show, WHO KILLED HUGH GETSME, which takes place aboard East Egg Cruises.
