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, audience members can write down who they 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 characters 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 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. Rest assured that you won’t be forced to tap dance on stage!

If you are keen to interact with the characters, also during the scripted play, check out the Hot Seat ticket (see below for more information)!

What is a Hot Seat ticket?

In some of our plays the characters might involve audience members in the scripted scenes. We sell special tickets for people who enjoy this - the Hot Seat ticket.

If you are in the Hot Seat, you may be asked up on stage for a minute or two. Perhaps the detective wants to take your statement? You could also (unwittingly) be helping the murderer… So be careful!

A Hot Seat ticket costs the same as a regular ticket. You’ll be seated together with your (non Hot Seat) friends. For now, we sell one Hot Seat ticket per show. First come, first serve!

Can I join your group?

Maybe? We’re still figuring out how we want to organise this group - open auditions, auditions for specific roles, … 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).
