Murder Mystery

Someone in the room did it

Someone in the room did it

Teams receive a case, a set of characters and a pile of clues, then work together to determine who did it, why and how. Our hosts play the suspects and keep the story moving.

It is a social format more than a physical one: interviews, alibis, red herrings and a lot of discussion. That makes it a natural fit for dinners, offsites, end of financial year and Christmas celebrations.

Murders can be set in one venue, spread across a precinct, or played around a long lunch. Groups from 20 to 500, with every guest involved whether they want the spotlight or not.

Great for

  • Dinners and celebrations
  • Teams of 20 to 500
  • Indoors or outdoors

What to expect

  • Interactive characters
  • Collaborative clue sharing
  • Perfect for dinners

How it runs on the day

Every Murder Mystery begins with a creative consultation. We get to know your group and its inside jokes, then build a script and cast that fits your team and your venue.

On the night our actors arrive in character and mingle with your guests — some obvious suspects, some quietly gathering intelligence. Scenes play out through dinner until the murder happens, and then your teams take over: share clues, question suspects and name the killer before the final reveal.

Available Australia wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, the Gold Coast and regional locations.

Questions about the Murder Mystery

The things teams ask us before booking. Anything else, call 1300 044 197 or send an enquiry.

Plan on 1.5 – 3 hours. We build the running order around your program, so the Murder Mystery can slot into a conference session, hold its own half day or stretch into a longer format.

Our standard range is 20 – 500 participants, and we can stretch beyond that with extra hosts and waves. Everyone is placed in a team, so nobody is left watching.

This one is conversational and social rather than physical. It suits all ages, mobilities and energy levels, and nobody will be asked to run anywhere.

It works in a single venue or outside, so you can choose based on the weather, the venue or how much movement you want on the day.

Send an enquiry with your date, headcount and location. We reply with a clear quote and a plan for the day, usually within one business day. Accepting the quote and paying a 30% deposit locks in your date.
