Frequently Asked Questions

It's a social game. Groups gather information by talking to murder suspects, some played by guests.

The game is 90% cooperation, as folks share information---but 10% competitive, as groups compete at the end of the night to see who can solve the murder the best.

Playing a role in the show involves very little public speaking. It's mostly one-on-one interactions your group has together. Because the roles are light-hearted and fun, guests feel comfortable playing roles. And our hosts are the best at casting the guests who are both excited to play, and right for their roles.

While you can simply sit and watch, interacting with murder suspects is the real joy of the experience.

It's very hard to solve a murder without talking to any of the suspects!

There are about 8 characters in our shows, sometimes extra. Other guests work in teams with those characters.

Murder mysteries feature adult themes like affairs, and implied evil-doing. Our private events page has specific ratings and content info about each of our shows.

The comprehension level is designed for adults. Most youths under 14 engage less, unless they're avid readers or love performance. We have events designed for younger guests, and can customize our existing shows for them on request.

We bring EVERYTHING - props, supplies, accessories, and more! Guests only need to show up in, dressed for the theme, or as they are. From the moment folks arrive, they're encouraged to interact and question the suspect characters. The characters you'll meet are shady, up to no good, and totally memorable. Drinks available for purchase at private bar.

Food is available for purchase, although depending on seasonal staffing considerations, you may need to order it downstairs.
