Murder In The Mountains: A Team Virtual Murder Mystery

Welcome to Chalet Montagne, a luxurious ski lodge nestled high in the French Alps, and the setting for this immersive virtual murder mystery experience.

This is a theatrical, puzzle-packed, and witty online team building activity where your group will take on the role of undercover investigators tasked with solving the ‘electrifying’ murder of billionaire tycoon Logan “Logey” Snowcroft during a high-stakes corporate retreat at his mountain lodge.

Working in teams of 2–8 people, you’ll examine the crime scene, interrogate suspects, solve interactive puzzles, and debate motives. Throughout the experience, you’ll earn points for your detective work, leading to a final scoreboard reveal where one team will be crowned the ultimate detectives.

Designed for virtual team building events, client entertainment, and corporate socials, this experience blends storytelling, competition, and immersive gameplay. With alpine backdrops, atmospheric sound design, and live hosts guiding you through each round, it’s a highly engaging and memorable online experience.

The “Murder In The Mountains” Storyline…

Officers, we’ve been called in to investigate a suspicious death at Chalet Montagne, the opulent ski lodge of billionaire magnate Logan “Logey” Snowcroft, CEO of Snowcroft Enterprises.

Logan has been found dead in the spa hot tub during a private company retreat.

The suspects? Logan’s ambitious son Klaus, determined to secure the CEO role; his genius wife Clarissa, a tech executive closely tied to the company’s AI systems; his idealistic companion Sloane, who recently uncovered troubling truths about Snowcroft’s environmental practices; and even I.V.E., the company’s hyper-intelligent AI assistant, which may have developed motives of its own.

With a major company announcement looming, the pressure is on. Solve the case before the truth slips away and the wrong person takes control.
