In this immersive experience, you’ll work together in teams of 3-8ppl to decipher the clues and solve the case of “Mayfield Manor”. Clues and tasks will include analyzing evidence such as maps and letters, cracking codes and deducing if what the 4 suspects have told us is true.

You’ll take on the role of “Junior Officers” who as well as solving the crime, will be scored on your crime-solving abilities so at the end we’ll know who the ultimate detectives are.

This is a lighthearted, immersive and competitive murder mystery game virtual experience that is appropriate for all occasions. The experience can be run for groups sized 5-500 and has content suitable for national and international audiences.

The “Mayfield Manor” Storyline…

We have been called to Mayfield Manor, home of Lord & Lady Mayfield. Lord Mayfield, one of the country’s richest men, has been found dead in the manor’s rose garden ahead of the annual society ball. The murderer has been narrowed down to 4 suspects, Lady Mayfield, Groundskeeper Colin, Housekeeper Hattie & Digby Holtby-Johnston. We have 50 minutes to solve the case before the guests arrive and ruin our crime scene. 

Our Standard Event Format:

–> You’ll be welcomed by your high-energy host “Chief Detective Winklebot”, who’ll introduce the experience and explain the rules.

–> We will then split you into teams of 3-8ppl. These teams can be chosen by you or can be randomly assigned. (For groups 50+ teams will be randomly assigned).

–> You’ll then work through 4 rounds of evidence. In each one new clues will be given to you including maps, coded emails, suspect interviews and more.

–> After each round you’ll head into your teams to answer questions and challenges on the clues you’ve seen. Points will be awarded on how you answer these.

–> At the end you’ll need to decide who you think the guilty person is.

–> The experience will end with a reveal of the guilty suspect along with announcing the winning team.
