A Murder Mystery dinner is a great night’s entertainment for a corporate event, as they can be hosted in restaurants, hotels, boat parties, castles and within the workplace.
Murder mysteries are an interactive clue game, where you and the guests become the detectives in a murder and must figure out who among the suspects has committed the unspeakable crime. Every suspect in the murder mystery game has a motive and the means but during the three-course murder mystery meal, everyone tries to find out who is the murderer, while the murderer tries to avoid detection. You must use your sleuthing skills to find the real villain.
Knights Templar Events Murder Mystery dinner involves teams of detectives who attempt to solve a deadly who-dunn’it. The challenge is to answer three questions:
• Who committed the murder (Murderer)
• How (Method)
• Why (Motive)
It begins with a pre-dinner drinks reception whereby the characters meet and greet your guests, setting the scene. Once all your guests have arrived, they should be seated for dinner.
Guests should be seated into equal team tables but no larger than groups of 10 for dinner. Each team table will play the inter-active part of team detectives. Working together in their individual team tables, they will compete against the other detective groups over dinner.
The audience can then witness scripted scenes featuring events that took place before the murder was committed. These scenes introduce the audience to the Victim, the Suspects and present many vital clues.
The members of the audience, in their team tables, then meet each of the suspects and the victim who all join them at their tables during dinner and desert for interrogation. The purpose of this is that the suspects and victim will be marking the guest detectives on their performance as a team of super sleuths.
To conclude the event have a presentation of the audience dénouement and a performance of the dastardly deed itself. The declared winners will be the detective team who solves the dastardly deed by correctly answering the three ‘M’s and scoring the most points. Certificates could then be awarded for the ‘Super Sleuths’ (Winning Team) and to the ‘Most Defective Detectives’ (Losing Team).
