Murder Mysteries That Transform Ordinary Events into Unforgettable Nights
Immersive entertainment, original storytelling, and professional hosting for corporates and private celebrations. Crafted in Cape Town, played anywhere your guests gather.
The Experience
Turn Your Event into a Crime Scene
Why settle for polite small talk when your guests could be chasing clues, unravelling secrets, and accusing their colleagues of murder?
At Be Part of the Mystery, we design and host interactive games that transform dinners, conferences, and celebrations into immersive theatre. Guests laugh, plot, scheme, and suspect one another — until the dramatic final reveal.
Because a truly great event doesn’t just entertain… it creates stories people retell for years.
