Virtual
Murder Mystery

While we are big fans of in-person events, especially our Amazing Escape Races, virtual murder mysteries are convenient, more cost-effective, and allow for more small group bonding than live murder mystery theater. Our murder mystery corporate event is designed for individual interaction and participants feel as though they are right there with the characters and each other. They are able to interact and ask whatever questions they would like.

We can host groups who are all together in one office or spread out across the world. There is no prep-work and participants will not have to learn any lines, play any characters, or download any materials. We also differ from other murder and mystery games online in that we can host large groups while still ensuring everyone gets individual attention!

Nothing needs to be downloaded or printed prior to or during the event. We do provide an optional detective journal that can be printed in advance, but it’s just as easy to use whatever scratch paper is on hand. All you need is access to Zoom (or the video conferencing platform of your choice) and Google Forms. Don’t worry, we have a workaround for companies that cannot access Google Forms. There is no other preparation needed!

Escapely’s murder mystery team building event was specifically designed for corporate groups to encourage interaction, collaboration, and communication. This event is not dinner theater that participants watch like a movie. It’s a murder mystery party game online! Participants will not watch actors deliver a monologue. Instead, the players drive the conversation and interact with the suspects as though they are really interrogating them – you might be surprised by the investigative sides of people that come out! At the end, each team deliberates and needs to agree on all of their accusations before submitting.

None at all. What sets our murder mystery team building game apart is that it is completely hosted by us – with live suspects! There is no prep-work necessary. Participants get to play investigator and grill our incredible actors in character as the suspects. It’s immersive and best of all, a blast.

Yes, our virtual murder mysteries are completely hosted. An emcee, in character as the lead investigator, will be there to greet you, explain the rules, and guide you through the entire 90-minute experience!

Our corporate murder mystery games can host groups as small as five and as large as 600 participants. It’s the same experience regardless because for larger groups, we provide more than one of each character. For groups with budget concerns, the cost structure of the murder mystery makes them the best fit for groups of 25-120. That said, we have had groups of all sizes play – it all depends on your preference! And of course, we offer incredible virtual escape games and virtual trivia events for groups looking for something different.

Our virtual murder mystery is a 90-minute experience. It is just enough time for an intro, five interrogation sessions, some group evidence review, deliberation with your team, and of course, the awards ceremony! When necessary we can condense into as little as 75-minutes, but unfortunately any shorter than that would take too much away from the experience. Companies looking for a shorter event should look into our virtual escape games and virtual trivia events which can fit into 30-minute and 60-minute timeframes.

Our game is clue and evidence based. While the suspects do stick to the facts and stay in character no matter what, participants can ask the suspects any questions they like! The characters will ad-lib and might say things you aren’t expecting. However, it’s up to the players to uncover the evidence. The characters won’t give it up unless they hear the right questions!
