Online Murder Mystery

FAQs
1. What can I expect from this Online Murder Mystery?

An exciting virtual murder mystery experience with excellent acting, detailed storytelling and lots of interaction. The storytelling begins from the moment guests enter the virtual room, most commonly Zoom. Participants are greeted by the host who will share facts regarding the murder case in question. Participants are then divided into small groups and transferred into breakout rooms where each team interrogates one suspect at a time. All teams are then brought back together to discuss findings and theories with each other and the host. This investigative process is repeated a couple of times. After insightful conversations with the suspects, all teams are invited back into the main room to ask their final questions. Each team will select a speaker who will make their case on behalf of the team and accuse the suspect they believe committed the murder. The murderer is finally revealed following an unexpected twist!

2. How does it work? What is the setup?

Online guests will receive a personalised invitation with instructions from one of the murder mystery actors (in character) to generate excitement ahead of the virtual experience. Typically hosted on Zoom, our Online Murder Mystery actors are located in different cities across the US and tune in to the session from their home studios, via webcam. Our actors utilise character-specific backgrounds and soundtracks to create an immersive atmosphere for their online audience. One of our actors doubles up as a virtual stage manager during the show, following a strict set of protocols to address any technical issues should they arise.
