Murder Mystery Dinner Parties to Die For

Holding a Team Building Murder Mystery Event

Murder to Measure's murder mystery scenarios can be used in many ways to help build and improve dynamics within any team:

As an ice breaker

• A murder mystery dinner can be an excellent way to break the ice at a team building event, and a chance for participants to relax and enjoy each other's company in a spirit of friendly competition. Whether you chose to have the team directly involved in the scenario, or whether they take an observer's role, there will be plenty to talk about in the days to follow. Prime Suspect has a lot of experience in working within and building teams, so loves to create scenarios that fit your every need.

Setting and achieving team goals

• Whether the object of the event is to form or improve a team, Murder to Measure tailors its scenarios to set a series of intermediate tasks, the completion of which ultimately leads to the unmasking of the villain.
• In order to successfully crack a murder case a team has to observe, question, gather and organise information in a structured manner. This could include tasks to test negotiation, communication and problem-solving skills.
• Teams are encouraged to discover and exploit the strengths of team members and to work together to achieve objectives that can be of relevance to the tasks they face in the workplace.

Personal development and empathy

• Not everyone finds role-playing easy. Our scenarios are always designed to be fun and not humiliating for the participants, but we like to foster a friendly, competitive spirit and encourage participation from everyone involved. Our MC's are experts at coaxing stunning performances out of the most unlikely individuals, and this can greatly strengthen their self-confidence.
• We can also ask participants to adopt a role within a scenario which is contrary to their usual character, or ask them to work with team members that they would usually avoid. In both cases this can help them view problems through the eyes of others team members and encourages mutual respect.

Just a quick email to say many, many thanks for Friday night. We had a fantastic time and have recommended your services to a few teams at Michael Page. The service we received was professional and thought out, the hotel was spot on and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

As a reward for team performance

• Our events are always designed to be entertaining, and hundreds of guests have returned home with a smile on their faces. Hosting a murder mystery dinner is an ideal way to reward good team work, and sometimes there is nothing more satisfying than stabbing your boss!

If you have a particular team problem that you would like to expose and solve, then an evening or a day spent with our team could provide just the break-through you need.
