How does it work?

After parties decide on Theme, Scope, and Style, players receive individual Character Sheets and Game Play Instructions in advance.

On the night of the event, players dress up and interact as their character — searching rooms, questioning fellow suspects, and comparing clues to discover whodunnit.

All Laureate Manor Mysteries are packaged and ready to play for any group of 8-12 players. Please confirm the number of your party before booking to ensure the correct number of playable characters is included in your game.

Tailored

More than 12 players? Is someone in your group a little shy? Not a problem. We can tailor your game to you! Characters can be added and removed, game mechanics can be altered to simplify or add more complexity, and shy players can accept more supporting, less active roles. For more details, fill out the contact form here, and we will get in touch with you!

Style

On Your Own

Laureate Manor Mysteries are entirely nonlinear, after a few key scripted establishing moments.

One player in your party will need to act as Facilitator to hide clues before the game, and conduct scripted moments. While the Facilitator has a themed role in the story, they are not a playable character.

Facilitated

To ensure all players can participate in the mystery, many events request a Facilitator from our team.

For Facilitated parties or events, we will arrive to the location early, hide the clues, secure the weapons, and conduct the scripted moments before the game.

As Facilitator, we can also answer any on-the-spot game play questions, while staying true to the in-theme character.

Events

Private

Tired of the same scripted mystery-in-a-box games? Looking for a fun and silly way to entertain your friends?

Perfect for holiday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, family reunions, or weekend getaways, Laureate Manor Mysteries let you get in character, immerse yourself in a story, and share a unique and funny experience with friends!

Corporate

Looking for a creative and high-energy team-builder? Players can work individually or collaboratively to solve the murder of a mysterious host. Games can be hosted during a retreat, after a workshop, or as part of a dinner celebration. Some companies have even included their CEO in the fun — acting as the mysterious host who “welcomes” the guests… and then meets an untimely end.

Laureate Manor Mysteries will create new memories for your team as they take on new roles in these lighthearted, character-driven games.
