Why Our Murder Mystery Race Stands Out

Step into the shoes of elite detectives in this thrilling murder mystery. Using strategic navigation and real-world clues hidden across the city, your team will work together to crack a notorious cold case. Your team has been assigned to reopen one of the most notorious cold cases on record: “The 1996 Corporate Cover-Up”.

How the Murder Mystery Race works

Your delegates will be divided into teams and provided with maps, clues, and all necessary equipment.

Your task is to uncover four critical pieces of information:

WHO murdered Michael Langford?
WHY did they do it?
WHAT weapon was used?
WHERE did the crime take place?

Evidence is hidden across the city. Teams navigate to different sites to complete interactive, detective-themed challenges. For example, they will work together to create mock police sketches based on witness descriptions, collaboratively question “suspects” to systematically eliminate variables and narrow down the culprit, and complete covert “stakeout” missions where they secretly film opposing teams.

Where is the activity held?

We are a completely mobile service and will bring the Murder Mystery Race to you! Whether it’s your conference venue, the Sydney CBD, or the urban area surrounding your office, we will tailor the Murder Mystery Race to suit your needs. Depending on your preferences, we can even create a public transport event or one using private cars.

Do you have set routes?

Nope, and that’s what makes us special! While many other race-based events use the same routes repeatedly, each race is customised to your specific location and team objectives.

Can you recommend locations for us?

Absolutely! With over 1000 events delivered annually, we have extensive experience with venues across Australia. Some of our most popular races occur in Sydney CBD, Darling Harbour, The Rocks, North Sydney, Parramatta, and Melbourne CBD, but we regularly travel wherever our clients need us.

What happens in wet weather?

We’ve got you covered! Every outdoor event includes a backup indoor program that can be implemented if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Our indoor wet-weather event maintains all the excitement and team-building benefits of the Murder Mystery Race; all we require is a space to host it.

Do you provide prizes?

Yes! Gold Pinnacle medallions are provided for the winning team. We can also arrange additional prizes at your request for an additional cost, or you’re welcome to provide your own special rewards if you have huge game enthusiasts in your company.
