Mysteries For Group or Corporate Events (click here for more info)
Add mystery and imagination to your next event with maximum results! The event begins with a special guest, and an event tailored to include specific details about your group (names, products, slogans, etc.). As the event unfolds, an assortment of hilarious, shady, and mysterious figures appear throughout your group, all trained and skilled at involving your group in the event unfolding around them. Our emphasis is on fun and humor, and you can select the “rating” of our performance, from family fun to risqué. Our events are designed for flexibility for groups of any size. With no set and minimal props, our cast travels to your event. The Murder Club is the perfect package for you at any location, any time of the year. Our standard package runs 2 hours, typically from 7 to 9 p.m., but be lengthened or shortened to suit your needs and program.    Back to top


Comedies
The Murder Club mysteries are designed for maximum fun. However, death is not a joking matter. Many of our mysteries and events are designed as “noir comedies”, where the plot is funny, the characters over the top, and the action comedic and absurd. The victim is generally a Very Bad Person, and the killer an even “Badder” Person. In the style of the classic screwball murder mysteries such as the “Thin Man”, “My Favorite Brunette”, and “Murder By Death”, our goal is to entertain, and provide an escape from reality. In our events, Bad Things happen to Bad People, Bad Guys Get Caught, and in the end, Everything Makes Sense.    Back to top

Crime Scene Investigations With Full Forensics
Intense crime scenes with graphic detail, our Crime Scene Investigations are perfect for groups wishing to “step into” a mystery where every drop of blood tells a story. Typically, the scenario involves a serial whose trail begins with an elaborate crime scene complete with realistic victim, forensic clues and highly detailed environments, where you get to follow the chain of evidence from bloody scene to bloody scene to catch a killer. If terms such as “blood spatter”, lividity, and “profiling” set your creative juices flowing, then this is the event for you. This event is perfect for groups under 20, or teams, as attention to detail is important and the action intense.
Please note, this event includes graphic forensic and plot content.    Back to top

* This event is ideal for our our unique “Elimination Option”, where guests can be “eliminated” by Characters. This brings a heightened sense of excitement and thrill as every meeting could end in the team member’s elimination and removal from the game.   Back to top

Corporate Training Events
Think outside the box! The best corporate teams are those who work well together, overcome obstacles, and think creatively. The Murder Club provides a unique and exciting venue to build these skills, and give your teams an incredible amount of fun while doing it!   Back to top

Historical Periods (Click here for more info)
Step into another time and place with our Historical Period Events. From a high-stakes poker spectacle set during the Civil War to a Renaissance Feast and Challenge, these events include full costumes, settings, and environments where realism merges with reality to create an event unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Imagine your place at a poker table with a Southern General and Yankee Trader, when suddenly a duel breaks out, and a murderer strikes. Or attending a King’s Renaissance Court to witness a Challenge of Honor, where knights, mercenaries, and courtesans weave a circle of intrigue and poison. These events include the full cast in complete period attire, with historically accurate props and setting. Costumes amongst the guests are encouraged, as well as more active roles in the plot to further the realism and total experience.    Back to top

Special Tactics Simulations
Can your team defeat an opposing force in a covert operation scenario?

Highly Interactive Private Affairs (click here for more info)
For couples and individuals wishing to “give something special” to their partner, the Murder Club can set the scene for an excursion into fantasy and mystery. Typically, this event involves one member of a couple being taken to a secret location, and the other receiving clues to that location. The scenarios range from kidnapping to blackmail, with our actors providing an intense performance as characters within the fantasy, guiding the adventure until the couple finds themselves united, at which time our actors discretely withdraw to let the fantasy play out to its desired conclusion. If you want something to spice up an evening, an adventure wrapped in a mystery, where fantasy and reality merge, this is the event for you.    Back to top

Impossible Missions and Espionage
Ideal for small groups and teams, this event can take place anywhere, anytime, as teams race to find a clandestine location and defeat a team of enemy agents before they can complete their objective.

Adult themed NC-17 Thrillers

Supernatural Investigations
Paranormal events and supernatural creatures lurk within these scenarios, so beware! Vampires, werewolves, shape shifters, conspiracies and genetically-engineered serial killers are par for this course. Guests are established as investigators into the unknown, assembled by a covert agency to investigate a horrific crime scene. Graphic content and intense moments are assured, so be ready for anything! Typically this event is best for small groups and parties.   Back to top

LARP's
Imagine actually attempting to diffuse an atomic weapon, or pick a lock, or search a suspect’s room for hidden documents. Live Action Role Playing events are those in which guests actually get to play Characters within the story, act out elements of their characters' activities in person, wear appropriate costumes, and attempt to physically affect the outcome of the story. To avoid injury to guests, combat is simulated with toy weapons involving certain rules and restrictions. LARP interaction can be added to most of our events at an additional cost to cover props and additional cast and crew.    Back to top

* Elimination Option
The Murder Club offers a special option to further enhance the thrill and excitement of each event. This option provides for the “elimination” of guests by the scenario “bad guy(s)”. Our unique procedure allows Characters within the context of the scenario to actually remove guests who are caught alone or when confronted.

The Elimination Option does NOT involve actual physical contact or mock combat, but rather, is a simple and direct exchange between the actor and guest. The guest may attempt to avoid elimination through quick thought or action, but confronting the suspected killer alone in an alley with nothing but a bag of potato chips is not considered wise.

Eliminated Guests are given the option of continuing the Event as Characters, joining the Actors as the plot unfolds.

Hostage Simulations
How would your group react in a hostage scenario? What are the best strategies for surviving a hostage scenario? How can you assist rescuers? This intense theme involves your group experiencing a hostage scenario as they are taken hostage and held captive. The Murder Club provides Hostage Simulations for differing degrees of “reality”, ranging from “Hollywood” to “Tactical Drill”, determined by you. In the “Hollywood” scenario, guests may attempt to outsmart and turn the tables on the captors (something NOT recommended in real-life: only in Hollywood). In our “Tactical Drill”, a qualified expert is present to offer observation and commentary on each phase of the “hostage situation” to actually provide instruction on the proper way to respond if it were an actual event.   Back to top

Security Infiltrations
This is not an entertainment package. Our team of Actors and Specialists are extraordinarily suited to test your security, both in business and domestic venues. Our team can determine the vulnerability of key staff to corporate espionage attempts, computer networks to creative intrusions, and the security your personal information and property. Special rates apply due to scalability of Security Infiltration needs of the client. Back to top

Child Safety
Parents require every tool in training their children in abduction evasion skills.
With the involvement of parents and full video documentation, our group can provide an actor and legal security authority who can test your child's skills to assess their preparedness. With the parents watching from nearby, an actor will approach the youth and attempt verbal persuasion tactics to get the youth to accompany them.  If the child does so, then the parents are brought onto the scene with the security advisor who will then explain to the child how they could have avoided the situation, and better equip them against potential future attempts by strangers.  If the youth does in fact avoid the simulated peril, then both parents and youth can be assured they possess the skills to maximize future safety.
