Mystery in Hollywood: The Missing Movie

Frequently asked questions

• Do I have to do anything to prepare for this event?

  We provide clues for your group to look through before the event begins in order to familiarize yourselves with the story. However, we understand that not everyone has time to do so, and therefore we allow time during the show for you to have a look.

• How does the mystery story work?

  Your team will be playing the role of investigators on a case, trying to figure out exactly what happened by examining evidence and hearing from the suspects. If you have booked a 1-actor show, the Detective will assist you and provide video witness statements from the suspects, who are all professional British actors. If you have booked a show with additional actors, you’ll have a chance to meet and question them, too.

• If I opt for a show set in a different time period, will the references and subject matter suit my company’s modern standards?

  We have been performing for corporate clients in this evolving world for many years, and our actors always perform their roles consciously for a modern audience. We are constantly adapting our shows and the subject matter to better fit in with today’s society. We always perform as if to a family group, so you don’t have to worry about any bad language or offensive innuendos.

• Will your host wait until my whole group is present before starting the show?

  As we are running events all day, we need to stick to a strict time schedule. Our host can offer up to five minutes of waiting for the group to join at the beginning, and then the show must begin in order for it to end on time. However, any group members who missed the opening can easily catch up when you are dispatched into smaller teams.

• Will my participants be split into teams?

  If there are more than 20 participants, you’ll be split into randomly assigned teams. Each ‘team’ will deliver a verdict as to who they think the murderer is. If there are less than 20 participants, you’ll be given the option to stay as one big group or to be split. Please note, we cannot accommodate assigning participants to predesignated teams.

• Does everyone have to get involved?

  All our shows are designed so that there is something for everyone to be involved with, whether it’s directly interacting with our hosts and actors, or analyzing the evidence behind the scenes if they’d rather not speak up. We do, of course, encourage interaction as it makes the event more enjoyable for everyone, and we’d always prefer you to turn your cameras on where possible as well.

• Can the actors join our existing Zoom meeting?

  Unfortunately, our events need to take place on our own hosted rooms as we have the correct licenses, privileges and settings enabled. Our meeting rooms open up a few minutes before the event starts, so your attendees are welcome to join a little earlier.

• Can we host the event on another platform, i.e. Microsoft Teams?

  Our events cannot be performed on any other platform than Zoom. MS Teams does not have the necessary technical capabilities and functions that we require. There is no need to download any software to use Zoom. Participants can choose to either install the app or simply click the Zoom link provided to join on their browser.
