Virtual Murder Mysteries

How Does a Virtual Murder Mystery for Large Groups Work?

A virtual murder mystery offers intriguing, hands-on entertainment for groups of all sizes, whether large or small.

A typical virtual murder mystery game begins with the host splitting the participants into smaller, more intimate groups via virtual breakout rooms. This ensures everyone has opportunities to connect, engage, and work together to solve the mystery without feeling lost in the crowd. Throughout the activity, your team will interact with coworkers in fun and unique ways, collect evidence, and solve the case together. 

At Elevent, we offer a variety of virtual murder mysteries that can accommodate groups of up to 600 participants. If you have a large group and are worried the experience won't be beneficial for your group size, let us make it work! We'll help you throw the perfect virtual murder mystery party so that everyone at your company can join in on the fun.

What Are the Team Benefits of an Online Murder Mystery Game?

Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills 

An online murder mystery presents a new problem and an intriguing challenge around every corner. Your team will need to put their heads together and think critically about their surroundings. They'll learn to examine the clues with a fresh perspective in order to feel confident in their answers. You never know who the suspect might be — they may even be on your own team! 

Employee Engagement

Participant interaction and communication are vital to the murder mystery experience. Your team will need to work together, share ideas, and engage with one another in order to solve the crime. Every murder mystery has different twists and turns — and for some, everyone is a suspect.

Improve Company Morale

Virtual murder mystery games are all about fun! If your team is feeling burned out from the busy season or you notice a dip in teamwork and productivity, it may be time to boost morale by planning something fun for your employees. Virtual murder mystery games invite your team to relax, unwind, and enjoy themselves together. Whether done once a year, quarterly, or even to celebrate the end of every month, a good mystery offers an engaging distraction from the workweek. Book your murder mystery today to show your team that you appreciate their ongoing contribution to the company's success!

What to Consider When Booking a Virtual Murder Mystery

Duration

Our online murder mystery games range from 60 to 120 minutes. These experiences are typically longer because the host will need time to set the scene and get your team up and running. 

Price

We have several different pricing structures. For some, you pay per person, and others are a flat rate for the entire group, no matter the size. If you're looking for the most cost-effective solution, you'll want to consider the size of your group and your goals for planning the event. 

Theme 

Understanding your team's likes and dislikes will help you pick the perfect murder mystery theme. If you aren't sure what experience they'll like the most, consider sending out a survey to gauge their interests. 

How Do Virtual Murder Mystery Team Building Games Work?

Meet the Host

Most virtual murder mystery games are run by a live actor or a host that will act as your team’s guide. The host will go over the rules and fill you in on the storyline. Make sure you listen carefully: You never know when someone might drop a clue. 

Solve The Mystery 

Once they set the scene, your team is broken up into groups. They’ll need to work on analyzing clues and witness statements and take a closer look at the crime scene. They’ll need to work together and communicate if they want to find the suspect first. 

Deliver the Verdict

Each team will have an opportunity to deliver their final verdict. Will they be the ones to put the suspect behind bars and take home the win?
