a killer party starts with a murder
Well, actually, it starts with a brief. A dossier if you will complete with the back story and the suspects. From there we begin to build out the night’s biggest mystery. Timing, guest engagement, costumes, scripts and any special requests to personalize the experience are all taken into consideration to craft the perfect Murder Mystery.
As a planner, one of the scariest things that can happen is when things start going not according to plan. Take for example a recent Murder Mystery – The Gatsby Goner.
Imagine the stage is set, the show is about to begin … but the actors don’t know their roles. How do you fix an on the spot situation and keep the magic of the moment you wanted to create for all attendees? You lean on your team of entertainment professionals to ensure the party doesn´t miss a beat.
“Not everyone had read the descriptions of their characters or understood the premise of the performance, so when we realized that many guests didn't understand what was going on or what they were supposed to do, Brittany and Chris spoke to small groups of guests and explained things.
Fortunately, we had enough guests who jumped right into the fun and, along with your actors - especially the Detective - could hold everyone's attention and make them part of the action.
Horror Hotel
Not ready to commit to a sit down who-dunnit? How about a turnkey experience that is sure to thrill and cause a fright - an immersive Horror Hotel where the only mystery to solve is how to make it out alive.
The interactive set up works great as the arrival experience, setting up the scene for the night ahead, just like we did for Arianna Grande´s epic Halloween Party.
Want to add a more dramatic effect or sprinkle in just a dash of hands on fun? Consider including an escape-room style puzzle as the final stop before guests step into (or out of!) the party.
We are big fans of a transformational performance that transports guests in time and place for a Killer Reveal Party, or even a The Great-themed Gender Reveal.
