How it works

Terrible news! David Park was on his way to your office to lead a team-building activity today, but a killer had other plans for your group. David was found dead in the parking lot. We need your help to expose the killer and catch him before he strikes again. We have reason to believe that David led a secret life. He created today’s virtual murder mystery game, and we suspect that there are clues in it that could help unravel the quandary of his death. We need you to play David’s game to see if you can uncover any clues to what he was up to and why he disappeared. On teams, you’ll tackle trivia questions, solve fun puzzles, and—spoiler alert!—uncover evidence of spies, intrigue, and assorted skullduggery. Can your team crack a code that can stop an international incident with cataclysmic consequences? A host will lead the game via Zoom or other video conferencing—setting the scene, offering guidance, announcing how the teams are doing, and supplying hints if you get stuck. The game requires one hour, and anyone with access to a computer can participate. It’s a great way to unite offices, stay connected with people working from home, and boost morale. You’ll having fun while collaborating in a fun, new way. This is one of our hardest games, so be prepared for a challenge. Aspects of this game refer to areas of American pop culture, to maximize enjoyment and minimize confusion, this is not recommended for International audiences. It also requires texting to a US-based phone number.

Frequently asked questions
  • Can people in different places be on the same team?

    Absolutely! Each team will get a unique code for the Watson Adventures app, so you and your teammates can all play along together. And with the video conferencing app the host can send your team into a “breakout room” where you can see, speak with, and collaborate with your teammates in private.

  • What does my group need to prepare for this experience?

    For the best experience, we recommend using a desktop computer for the video conferencing program. We take precautions to keep the game safe and secure, and stress that you should not share the link with anyone not on your team.

    You’ll also use our browser-based app to play the game, which we will recommend you use either on your desktop or on a phone or tablet, depending on the particular game. (We’ll tell you which is best in a pre-game email.) At the start of the game we will give you the web address for the app and a code to access the game.
