Description

Solve a crime in mini teams by completing puzzles and riddles! 

In this murder mystery experience, you and your team will become trainees at the CHPD (CourseHorse Puzzle Detectives), solving the sort of crimes that only the most puzzling criminals leave for solution-oriented enforcers. Is your team ready to outsmart the sort of murderer who would leave clues about their crime to taunt investigators? We hope so because we need your help!

Trainees will begin by facing a series of tests to determine their readiness. It's so busy at the CHPD that when another murder happens, we have to send in the trainees to solve it! Your team will dispatch to a high school reunion gone sour when the star quarterback is found dead on the floor of the gymnasium. As the murderer lurks among the terrified student body, they'll leave puzzles and clues to taunt our officers, with a warning about their next strike. Your team will have to crack these sinister codes before the killer strikes again.

What your group will do: 

  • Our facilitator will welcome the group, go over the rules of the game, and start the event with high energy
  • We will then use breakout rooms to split your group up into mini-teams where they will be working to solve riddles, puzzles, and challenges to solve the mystery
  • Groups will be presented evidence in the form of character descriptions, virtual maps, audio clips, and video clips and will play mini-games to uncover additional clues that will help solve the case
  • The majority of the time will be spent in mini-teams but you will still have the opportunity to interact with the whole group throughout the event

  • Entertaining & engaging host to facilitate a smooth, fun, and unique experience
  • Game platform with interactive elements and scorecard for participants

Step Into the World of Mystery and Intrigue with the Virtual Escape Room: Murder Mystery

If you're looking to add a touch of suspense and thrill to your next team-building event, look no further! Imagine an exhilarating murder mystery where you and your colleagues become rookie detectives with the CHPD (CourseHorse Puzzle Detectives), tracking down a cunning killer before they strike again. This immersive Virtual Murder Mystery experience is the perfect way to foster teamwork, communication, and camaraderie—all while solving puzzles, cracking codes, and unraveling clues.

How Are Virtual and In-Person Escape Rooms Different?

A virtual escape room is a unique twist on the classic in-person experience, with plenty of perks for remote teams. Instead of gathering in a physical room, everyone joins online, making it easy to connect from anywhere in the world. The challenges and puzzles are presented through fun digital tools like interactive maps, video clips, and shared screens, all guided by a live host who keeps the game running smoothly. It’s super flexible and perfect for teams spread across different locations, allowing everyone to jump into the adventure without leaving their home or office.

The way you interact also feels a bit different but just as exciting! Instead of hunting for clues around a physical space, you’ll rely on teamwork and creativity to solve puzzles and crack codes virtually. With tools like breakout rooms and a live chat, it’s all about communicating and collaborating online. Plus, virtual escape rooms can handle bigger groups easily, splitting everyone into smaller teams for added excitement. Even without a physical setting, the combination of engaging stories, clever challenges, and teamwork makes it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved!

Are Virtual Escape Rooms Good Team-Building Activities?

Virtual escape rooms are a fantastic option for team building, offering a fun and engaging way to encourage collaboration and communication. As participants work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and tackle challenges, they develop teamwork skills and learn to rely on each other's strengths, much like in traditional escape rooms. The diverse nature of the tasks—requiring logical thinking, creativity, and attention to detail—emphasizes the value of varied skill sets and perspectives. By working towards a shared goal under time constraints, team members can enhance their communication skills and build mutual trust.

Moreover, virtual escape rooms help foster camaraderie and a sense of achievement, both crucial for team cohesion. They provide a refreshing break from routine interactions, allowing colleagues to connect in a relaxed and playful environment. Since they can be accessed from anywhere, these escape rooms are especially beneficial for remote teams, bridging geographic gaps and encouraging engagement across distances. With their unique mix of problem-solving, teamwork, and friendly competition, virtual escape rooms are a powerful and enjoyable way to strengthen team dynamics.

Why Choose the Virtual Murder Mystery?

This experience is more than just a game; it’s an adventure that turns your team into detectives. As trainees, your group is summoned to investigate a gruesome crime at a high school reunion, where the former star quarterback is discovered dead on the gymnasium floor. The stakes couldn’t be higher, with the murderer still lurking among the terrified attendees and leaving a trail of cryptic clues and taunting puzzles. 

Think your team has what it takes to solve the mystery before the killer strikes again? Join us to find out!

How It Works: Uncover the Clues and Catch the Killer

During this spine-tingling, brain-teasing adventure, your team will dive headfirst into the world of crime-solving. The experience begins with an enthusiastic host who sets the stage, welcoming your group and immersing you in the scenario. After a quick rundown of the rules and your mission, you’ll feel the mystery come to life as the investigation kicks off. Next, you’ll enter the CHPD Training Program, tackling a few detective tests to prove your readiness before heading straight to the crime scene. Once there, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start piecing together clues.

Your team will split into mini-teams to tackle intricate puzzles, riddles, and mini-games, each designed to reveal critical evidence. These clues appear in various formats, from character descriptions and virtual maps to audio clips and video footage, keeping the experience dynamic and engaging. Periodically, the group will reconvene to share discoveries, debate theories, and collaborate on solving the case, fostering a sense of connection and teamwork. The ultimate challenge? Solving the mystery before time runs out. Every puzzle cracked edges your team closer to catching the culprit—but with the clock ticking, can you bring the killer to justice in time?

What’s Included in the Experience?

From start to finish, your virtual escape room experience is in the hands of an engaging and professional host who keeps the energy high and the atmosphere exciting. The facilitator ensures smooth transitions between activities, explains the rules clearly, and maintains a lively environment to keep everyone immersed in the game. With their expert guidance, your team will stay on track and fully engaged, making the event as seamless as it is thrilling.

The interactive game platform is designed to enhance your experience with its intuitive, user-friendly interface.
