★★★★★ Jennifer Laws We purchased the 1920s Murder Mystery game for our son's 16th birthday party. It was an absolute hit. They loved dressing up, becoming the characters and working out who dunnit. Highly recommend!
Murder Mystery Games Designed for Corporate Team Building

Everyone has a role, information to share and a reason to communicate with the rest of the group. Together they work towards the same goal of solving the mystery and identifying the culprit.
- Colleagues become suspects, witnesses and detectives in the story.
- The presenter guide provides everything needed to run the game.
- Even reluctant performers can participate without having to act.
- Team members can be added or removed with minimal disruption.
- The final outcome stays hidden from the players.

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 Providence?
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.
