FAQ
Are murder mystery parties good for team building?
Yes, they encourage communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, making them ideal for corporate events and team-building activities.
Does the murderer know they are the murderer?
No, but they play the game the same as everyone else. The murderer is a specific character that the host will pick at the start of the night but that person does not know they are the murderer.
Our experience has shown that this is the better strategy. When someone knows they are the murderer they often act "nervous" or "different" and this can cause people to choose them just by how they are acting. We want everyone to enjoy the game whether they are the murderer or not.
What games work for very large groups?
For everyday large events, our Premium Edition Murder Mystery come standard for 60 to 120 people.
For very large events, our Mega Edition Murder Mystery games are a great option because they are designed for large groups and corporate events with 120 to 300 or 300 to 600 people.

The games are naturally engaging but there are a number of tricks of the trade.

- For groups larger than 80 and especially larger than 120 you need a very large roving microphone.
How do you run a murder mystery for a large group?
