Interactive Murder Mystery Show in Orlando

We cannot customize any of our themes, unfortunately. If you want the actors to make verbal references of anything such as inside jokes, company history, etc, we can most definitely add that in, but changing the actual script is not possible at this time.

Our format does not work for surprises. We want you to inform your guests about the murder mystery performance they will be attending for a few reasons: Informing your guests about the show beforehand, not only prepares everyone for the type of entertainment they're going to experience, but it also gives them the opportunity to get excited for the event and their interaction in the performance! Sometimes, your guests may be a little more timid or shy in regards to attending an interactive performance. We have found that it is better to make your guests aware of the nature of our entertainment style scheduled for your event, which they will be attending, so that they aren't unpleasantly surprised by the interactivity during the performance (especially if they are chosen as a suspect). The main reason a host wants to hold a surprise murder mystery is the "gotcha" moment. While this can be fun for the individuals planning the event, it is not fun for the guests. It comes across to some people as insulting. Also, as there are many activities that take place before the murder in our show, there is no realistic opportunity for the "gotcha" moment. The minimal amusement in surprising all of your guests with the mystery is outweighed by the fun and excitement that will be had if they are on board with the concept before they walk in the door.

No! We do not use any explicit language in our shows.

Setup. During setup, your actors will finalize all prep work for the show prior to your guests arriving. Your actors will get into costume, prepare all props and show materials, and set your guests' tables. On the tables, the actors will place rules sheets (which include tips and tactics), suspect note sheets and pens (where your guests will take notes about the clues revealed throughout the show), along with MMC money for bribery. If your package includes a sound system, the actors will perform a mic check as well during setup. Pre-Show Mingle Time. While your guests are arriving and settling in for the event, the actors will be freely mingling with them. At this time, the actors will explain the rules of the murder mystery to small groups of your guests. Don't worry, if a guest does not receive an explanation from your actors, whatever the reason, the actors will also do a presentational version of the rules for everyone at the start of the show. It is also during this time that all of the suspects in the show will be chosen from amongst your guests. The Show! The murder mystery performance is about 2 hours in duration, and typically takes place around a meal. The performance is broken into 3 acts, and 2 investigation times. The investigation times follow both act 1 and act 2. The murder occurs during act 1, the detective arrives during act 2, and the guests have their chance to solve the mystery during act 3. At the end of the third act, the actors hand out awards and arrest the killer! Post-Show. Once the show is concluded, the actors will briefly make themselves available to your guests for photos and any questions they may have. Your actors will then begin the cleanup and tear down process which includes: gathering all show materials and packing them up, getting out of costume, and putting away sound equipment (if applicable). If you plan on feeding your actors, this is the time to do so.

Suspect roles are assigned to your guests in a couple of ways. If you have specific guests in attendance that would like to be featured in a suspect role, or guests that you yourself would like to see highlighted as a featured suspect for your performance, point them out to the actors and they will speak to them to figure out if they would make a good suspect character! The second option, which is very commonly utilized, is to leave suspect selection completely up to the actors, so that they may assign your guests the suspect roles at random! While your actors perform their mingle-time as your guests are arriving prior to the show start time, they will interact with your guests, getting to know them, to professionally determine who might be more stage shy, and who might be more excited to be a part of the show. Guests are not required to perform and will not be made to participate if they wish not to.

Our events are incredibly interactive and guests can be involved as much or as little as they want, but we hope that everyone wants to participate! If a guest does not wish to be a suspect or truly be involved, that's okay! But we are sure once they see how much fun everyone is having, they'll change their mind!

We do not send out a list of the characters before the event or do any kind of pre-assigning of suspects. You will get all of this information after the actors arrive!
