Watch a murder mystery unravel before your very eyes. Your teams will take part in a series of scenes with roles and characters and witness the all-important crime itself. During the course of the activity, using their best sleuthing skills, teams must collect evidence, solve clues and find the killer. Join our lively hosts who will guide you through it all and unlock your super sleuthing skills.
Players can either act by taking the roles of game characters or they may play as detectives walking around the crime scene interviewing the characters. Either way they will explore their surroundings in a virtual world as they hunt for clues. Pieces of information are given out throughout the event via our web app VR and video clips, and live actors may also be brought in as interactive characters. Teams will put together the information and formulate means, motive and opportunity. At the end we will host a accusation round where participants make their guesses and we discuss the correct solution as a group.
If role playing, each team will receive the necessary materials before the event day.

In this activity it’s always about one thing: finding out who the murderer is. This is done through three stages:
- Background information, learning about the characters and the surroundings and talking to the other players to see what they know.
- Collecting evidence by walking around the activity location and uncovering the timeline of the mystery and aditional clues
- Accusations, theories and questions, where we discuss the evidence and pinpoint the murderer!
