ACT I: The Crime Scene

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. We might even meet the coroner and other members of the investigative team (audience guests).

ACT II: Who’s Who

Over the the course of the next 20-30 minutes, many, if not all of your guests become characters in the story, one by one 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.

ACT III: Interogations

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

ACT IV: Solve The Case

Everyone takes a moment to fill oit our answer sheets, setting down to paper who they think did the dastardly deed, how, where and why. For larger events, this occurs in teams. For smaller events usually it’s everyone for them selves, or perhaps couples pair off, etc.

ACT V: Final Reveals

Every murder show ends with the final reveals. But Madcapped Mysteries is bybfar the most fun. The detective will MELODRAMATICALLY read many, or all of the solutions. We end the show awarding a few prizes to the most beloved solutions and even a best actor award.
