Murder Mystery Formats - Which one is right for you
Do you need some help in deciphering which type of murder mystery you should do? There appears to be many varieties, but you can really sum them up into a few main categories.
- Mix & Mingle murder mystery parties
- Scripted murder mystery parties
- Live performance mystery shows
Mix & Mingle murder mystery parties
Mix & Mingle murder mystery parties are a great fit for groups ranging in size from 12-75 people. How that is possible is we are able to customize each event to match the specified qty of men and women.They provide a good mix of structure and creativity. Each guest has talking points about themselves along with clues & rumors about other characters at the party. The format is a great icebreaker and will encourage every guest at your party to interact. You can find more information on this format at www.host-a-murder.com
Scripted murder mystery parties
scripted murder mystery parties are very structured and provided limited amounts of flexibility. This is great for smaller groups 5-8 people as you can follow a dvd/cd as it will guide you from round to round. This is best played with smaller groups of 6-10 people. Boxed sets can be purchased from local games stores or online. If you find a company offering scripted murder mystery parties for more than 10 people a good question to ask is how many guests get “real characters”...if you are only looking for 6-10 of your guests to talk and the other 20 people just observe this is a great option.
Live performance mystery shows
Live performance murder mystery parties are used with groups ranging in size from 50-250 people. They allow your guests to feel apart of the show, but the actors do all the work. They are usually played around a seated dinner over a series of 3-4 courses. The show ranges in length from 2-3 hours depending on your needs.
