Hoosier Whodunnits brings live murder mystery shows to private parties, corporate events and fundraisers across Indianapolis. Choose one of our scripts, from a slasher-movie killer to the Burn Book, and our cast brings it to your venue. A body drops, the suspects start talking, and your guests have to crack the case.
Scenes of the crime
Birthdays, reunions, bachelor and bachelorette parties, holiday get-togethers. We come to your home, office, restaurant or venue, bring the cast, props and evidence. Want the guest of honor in the spotlight? Add Red Herrings, custom clues aimed at whoever you choose.
A murder mystery gets coworkers talking to people they don't usually sit with. We handle A/V and venue coordination, and for a fundraiser we can work in sponsors, auction items or honorees.
Ticketed dinner shows at Indianapolis venues, with a new theme and cast each time. Good for a date night or a group of friends. The best detective in the room goes home with a prize.
Timeline of events
You pick the date, the headcount and the mystery. We cast the show and pack the evidence. On the night, our cast mingles in character until a crime happens. Guests question suspects, trade clues and work it out in teams. At the end, each team names its killer, we reveal what really happened, and the sharpest detectives are crowned Top Sleuth.
