Murder Parties are fun, immersive activities that plunge your colleagues into a thrilling criminal investigation.
Inspired by the famous game Cluedo, this activity allows participants to solve an enigma as a team, while reinforcing their ability to communicate, collaborate and manage conflict. Playing the roles of key characters, employees will have to use their analysis, thinking and strategy skills to unravel the criminal story and discover the culprit.

One of the great advantages of Murder Parties is that they allow you to tackle important professional issues such as team cohesion, communication and stress management, in an interactive and entertaining setting. They fit in perfectly with seminars, corporate events or team building, bringing an original and engaging dimension to your professional activities.

How does it work?

Participants will be asked to solve a police investigation at the venue chosen for the event. To spark their imagination and transport them into the Paradoxales adventure, the investigation will take place in the time of Sherlock Holmes, a character played by an actor who will help them solve the enigma.
Participants will work in teams as investigators. 10 teams of 5 to 12 people. They will have a roadmap, with clues about the suspects and riddles to solve in order to obtain new, more precise clues. Also, the participants will have to question the suspects like real investigators.
