We have staged every interactive murder mystery on this website. While most of our audiences numbered between between 50 and 100, our scripts have been successfully used with audiences as large as 300. The Question and Solution Cards that you'll download are used to facilitate mysteries for large audiences.

We've been working with the theatrical world for a long time, and we know that producers and directors like to tweak the dials to fit their unique ways of interpreting a plot. That's why the clues and support material in each kit can be adapted to accommodate stage, dinner and customized productions. If you are struggling with how to do this, contact mystery writer Jack Pachuta and he'll work with you to make sure your needs are met.

Yes, you can easily incorporate dinner into the script either before the stage production begins, or during the break between acts. If you choose the latter, you can use the dinner time to introduce additional clues, or to distribute Question Cards that facilitate the audience participation portion of the mystery production. Our scripts are flexible enough to accommodate your specific dinner requirements while maintaining the continuity of the entire theatrical production.
