FAQs
- What types of customers have you worked with?
We provide interactive Murder Mysteries and Trivia Nights for events, public and private throughout Se Michigan and beyond. Heres how it works for Murder Mysteries. Its usually best to have us perform during dinner. We arrive, in character and in costume, when your guests are arriving. We act as if weve all been invited to the same event for the same reason (i.e. were all on a cruise together, its a family reunion, its a meeting of the families of gangsters, etc.), so everyone is involved from the get-go. We mingle with the guests, we eat with the guests, and we butt-in on activities with the guests (like disrupt those boring speakers). We entertain each table as people are eating. We walk around, we talk to everybody, and we will do some loud, sort of staged bits, for the benefit of everyone. But, were not scripted. Its all improv and the emphasis is on making people laugh. Were very funny and very high energy!Around about dessert time, a murder happens. Suspects are called up for questioning by a detective. If there are people at your event who have engaged themselves and are funny, well include them in the questioning as well. The audience has an opportunity to complete a ballot saying who did it. Out of all the correct answers, we draw one and usually award a prize. You can provide, if you like, a substantial prize (a restaurant gift certificate or a brand new Corvette), or we can provide a small theme-oriented gag gift.If you decide to book us, an important thing to remember is that you need to inform your guests that theyre coming to a Murder Mystery (i.e. include it on the invitation), otherwise it takes them a long time to understand whats going on and they think were just some obnoxious guests!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
1.) Tell your guest they are coming to a Murder Mystery. We once had a gig where the host forgot to tell the guests and they thought the actors were just annoying party crashers, 2.) Encourage costumes. If everyone is dressed as ridiculously as the actors, then all's the better. 3.) Have fun. Because if you ain't we ain't.
