What Events Are Perfect for a Private Murder Mystery?
A private murder mystery gives your guests more than something to watch—it gives them a reason to participate. Every performance encourages conversation, teamwork, problem-solving, and audience involvement while adapting to your venue, guest count, and event schedule.
Birthday Parties
Celebrate with an activity everyone can enjoy together. Friends and family become part of a live investigation, and our cast can even feature the guest of honor in the story to create a birthday celebration that's completely unique.
Corporate Events & Team Building
The best team-building activity doesn't feel like work. A live murder mystery encourages coworkers to communicate, solve problems, and exchange ideas while working together to crack the case in a relaxed and entertaining environment.
Holiday Parties
Make your holiday gathering more interactive than dinner alone. As the mystery unfolds, coworkers and guests compare evidence, question suspicious characters, and solve the case together while enjoying food, drinks, and conversation.
Fundraisers & Charity Events
Give supporters a reason to stay engaged throughout the evening. Live murder mystery fundraisers encourage participation while creating an event guests genuinely enjoy attending. Over the years, The Murder Mystery Company has helped organizations raise more than $1,000,000 through interactive fundraising events.
Every Occasion Can Become a Mystery
Anniversaries, retirement parties, reunions, graduations, client appreciation events, family celebrations, and many other gatherings can all be customized with a live murder mystery that fits your venue, schedule, and guest list.

As Seen On ABC’s
We do all kinds of private events — birthday parties, corporate events, team building, bachelorette parties, holiday parties, charity fundraisers, and more. If you can dream it, we can theme it!
Our private shows work best with groups of 20 or more guests. We can accommodate groups of all sizes — from intimate gatherings to large corporate events of several hundred people.
Almost anywhere! We can come to your home, office, a restaurant, a banquet hall, a bar — you name it. As long as there's enough space for your guests and our performers, we can make it work.
We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance to ensure availability and give us enough time to perfect your show. For large events or peak dates, booking earlier is better.
Private shows typically run two to two and a half hours. This can be adjusted based on your event needs — just let us know when you inquire.
We provide the entertainment — you provide the food! We can work with your chosen venue or caterer to coordinate timing so the show flows seamlessly with your meal.
