How it Works
We know organizing company parties and team retreats can be stressful, so we do the heavy lifting to customize and plan your team’s event, so you can spend less time prepping and more time making lasting memories with your colleagues. Here’s how it works:
Planning your event
• Let us know what you’re looking for in the form below, and our team will be in touch within 48 hours with more information.
• Choose your crime scene. Pick from a variety of murder mystery game locations and themes — from museums to your own neighborhood to virtual — to find the perfect fit for your team.
• We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Our team will work with you one-on-one to tailor your game to your group’s event, personalities, timeline and more for a truly unique experience.
The day of the game
• One of our acclaimed Hunt Hosts will be on-site to facilitate the event. Remote hosting is also available for smaller groups and virtual games.
• After your host walks you through instructions for the game, your group will explore your chosen crime scene (game location) while collecting clues, deciphering puzzles, and figuring out whodunit. Explore all Watson Adventure scavenger hunt locations here.
• All games take place on foot (no cars) and are not races. They are a test of teamwork, not athletic skill. You just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.
• Most murder mystery games take 2 hours from start to finish. Looking for more team building fun to fill a whole afternoon or evening? We’re happy to coordinate with you and our partners to point you in the direction of the perfect post-game refreshments or activity.
