Strange as it may sound, one of the most entertaining ways to sponsor a team-building event for a group or company is the project of hosting a homicide. Not an actual murder, of course but a “murder mystery party” in which participants role-play the characters and work together to solve the mystery with the provided clues.
Murder mystery Phoenix possibilities include do-it-yourself programs (in which you implement a kit of instructions, complete with players’ role descriptions, props, and clues) or bringing in a professional group to facilitate the event.
Among the available murder mystery Phoenix facilitators is the company Jest Murder Mystery Company, which combines entertainment with message-delivery for private parties, corporate events, and team-building retreats. The event can be scaled for groups from twenty in number to several hundred, with an event leader moderating the progress of the mystery, providing clues, revealing plot twists, and ensuring the continued flow of the program. Unlike a passive viewing of a performance, the murder mystery event requires input, attention, and even acting from it’s participants.
As corporate events go, your murder mystery Phoenix will likely be the talk of the company for years to come.
