Customer Testimonial
Good morning! We ordered the premium Tracy Gang box for our 1920’s themed staff party. The box came with everything we needed to guide us through hosting a great night! Everyone loved the personalised name badges. The amount of information is daunting to begin with, which is why you need to familiarise yourself with the story etc. The party was a hit, the clues weren’t giving everything away so not every team was able to guess the correct murderer, which is great. Very detailed kit, which we were very happy with. Thank you!

FAQ
Why are murder mystery parties so popular?
They combine storytelling, social interaction, and problem-solving, creating a unique and memorable experience for all participants.
Do you have a murder mystery game suitable for a hen's night or for all girls?
You have great choices:
- Our "Bogan Bride (or Redneck Bride) and the Billionaire" theme is set at a wedding and is perfect.
- Our "Hollywood Scandal" theme has characters that could either be boys or girls with names like "The Star" and "The Producer".
- Our "Wild West" theme involves a wedding and a baby swap and is great for a Hen’s Night (some guests will be boys but this increases the fun!)
How many people do I need for a murder mystery team building event?
Boxed games are for 9 to 60 or 61 to 120 people.
Downloadable games are for 4 to 6, 7 to 10, 9 to 15, 16 to 30, 31 to 60 and 61 to 120 people.
How long does a murder mystery party take?
A typical team building murder mystery party lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the game format, number of players, and how quickly guests engage with the mystery. Smaller groups often finish closer to 2 hours, while larger groups may take up to 3 hours as more players interact and share clues.
Do staff have to act?
Absolutely not! No acting experience is required. Players can participate at their own comfort level. The murder mystery places participants in groups and this is even better. The more gregarious players can take the spotlight while the more reserved players can share clues or sleuth away in the background.
Can we use our own venue?
Because murder mysteries involve playing games and your guests doing lots of fun and silly things, they need a quiet venue with lots of space.
You can hold a murder mystery at home or in a function venue. Try any venue which:
- Is completely private i.e.: not a restaurant or public spaces.
- Is very quiet i.e. no bands, piped music or DJ's next door.
- Has lots of room to move around. Imagine all your guests standing in a circle.
- You need one central area big enough for all guests at one time.
Should we hire a professional murder mystery presenter?
A professional host brings experience, structure, and energy to your event. They help get all guests involved, guide the game, and ensure everything runs smoothly so you can relax and enjoy the party.
However it could be a really fun aspect of your team building event that one of your staff runs it.
Can remote staff join?
Absolutely! You can either host a fully online murder mystery or have a hybrid approach where some staff are in the room and some are remote.
Are murder mystery parties good for team building in Dallas?
Yes, they encourage communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, making them ideal for corporate events and team-building activities. They can be played at the office or in any venue of your choice.
