Frequently Asked Questions

What is an interactive murder mystery?

Our interactive murder mysteries consist of several scenes of ‘normal’, scripted play that take place on stage. These scenes alternate with blocks of what we call ‘audience interaction’. Towards the end of the play, you can write down who you think the murderer is (as well as means and motive), before we play the final scene where all is revealed. Whoever is closest wins a prize!

During the audience interaction, the characters will mingle with the audience. You can ask them questions about themselves or their relationships with other characters, or of course “Where were you last night between seven and eight?” This can give you extra information about the murder! But be careful - the killer will lie and other characters may have their own reasons for misleading you! And if you are too blunt they may become offended and stalk off. You might end up with more red herrings than clues. You’ll have to bring your best detective game!

Do I have to do something as an audience member during these interactive plays?

Only if you want to! During the audience interaction, you can interact with the characters as much or as little as you wish. You can interrogate them, ask them what their favourite colour is, tell them how your weekend was, or avoid them altogether. The audience interaction is also a good time to get a drink from the foyer and discuss your detective theories with your friends.

In some of our plays the characters might address audience members directly during the scripted scenes, or ask them for help with simple tasks. We may sell specific tickets for people who enjoy this kind of interaction. Rest assured that you won’t be forced to tap dance on stage!

Can I join your group?

Maybe? We’re still figuring out how we want to organise this group - open auditions, auditions for specific roles, recommendations, … If you’re interested, send us an email or message us on Instagram (please note it may take some time for us to reply during the periods we are not actively rehearsing for a new play).
