Corporate & Team Building

Instead of another routine group activity, your team will communicate, collaborate, and enjoy solving a mystery together. We work with groups of many sizes, from individual departments to company-wide events.

Bachelorette Party

How to Plan Your Murder Mystery Party

Planning your private murder mystery event is easy!

You don't have to solve every planning puzzle yourself. A Personal Event Planner will help you organize your private murder mystery event, from identifying your goals to choosing a theme and preparing for the performance.

  1. 1. Start with the Details

    Every mystery needs a starting point. Share your event date, venue, occasion, and goals with us. We'll use those details to help shape the right experience for your gathering.

  2. 2. Find Your Perfect Theme

    Set the scene with a theme that matches your group's personality. Choose the style of film noir, the energy of 1980s hair metal, an elegant masquerade ball, or the retro fun of a 1950s sock hop. We'll help you find the right fit.

  3. 3. Put Your Party Together

    Once we've narrowed down the mystery, your Personal Event Planner can help with ideas for decorations, music, costumes, and other event details. We'll help you prepare for an interactive experience without making the planning process a mystery of its own.
