Yeah, we've done team building before and it was a disaster...

But that was before you discovered the Dead Herring way... 🐟🕵🏼‍♀️

We understand that some teams either feel that they are already close-knit and sorted, or that team building just doesn't make any difference to the issues they face. But there's always room for improvement.

We know it’s been said before, but we're different! Building a bridge out of spaghetti and blu tak may be rewarding and go-karting might be fun, but does it really work on the skills (totally transferable to the workplace BTW) that you need to solve a murder...?

Not only will your team have a fabulous time, but you’ll also receive our observations on their dynamics while solving the task. Drop us a message to start the investigation rolling...

Murder mysteries are just a bit of fun, how could they possibly help my team?

Our mystery events are flexible and customizable to meet your needs. One size certainly does not fit all!

We work closely with you and your team to ensure the event is relevant and tailored to your team's industry and goals. Our events are not only fun and engaging but also promote valuable skills such as communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, all transferable to every part of your business.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to enhance your team's skills and have a blast while doing it. Drop us a line to get the investigation started!

How can you be sure our team building events will be worth your investment? 💷

We understand that not everyone has a huge budget for this sort of thing, particularly if you’re heading up a small team. And if you do invest, you want to ensure you’re getting the maximum impact and value for your team.

We’re not in the business of offering ‘cheap deals’ but when you do book with us, we understand that every penny counts. Which is why we customize each one of our events to fit the unique needs and goals of your team to provide maximum value.

Don't let the worry about costs hold you back from investing in your team's success. The long-term benefits of improved team dynamics and increased productivity make the investment well worth it.

Some of our team HATE the idea of a murder mystery 🕵🏼‍♀️

Well, our events are not your run of the mill, awkward, cringe inducing team building activity, we promise.

They are fun, engaging, and challenge your team to work together to solve a mystery. Plus, they offer a break from the daily routine and can boost team morale. Don't forget that NO-ONE will be asked to dress up, act, or role play. That's what we're there for 🙌🏻

Immerse your team in a unique and exciting team building activity that they'll be chatting about for weeks afterwards.
