Do
guests play any other parts?
A.
Only very small roles, if any at all.
What
do the guests do?
A. Your guests are there to PLAY! A Whodunnit Mystery
Game isn't a serious event. It's "Let's pretend!"
time, and your guests are an important element to its success.
Is
this like a skit or play?
A.
No, because the Whodunnit actors—from their very first
appearance on the scene—are circulating among the guests,
answering questions, and acting out short interludes with other
actors in order to reveal information and clues which you and
your guests will need to solve the crime.
Is
the game at my place? Or yours?
A. You choose, reserve, and pay for the location of
your Whodunnit event. Click here
for some suggestions.
Will
there be food and drinks?
A. As the host or hostess, it will be your decision
what to serve your guests. Whodunnit Mystery Games are generally
performed as part of a larger event (a banquet, for instance)
where refreshments are served.
Do
I provide costumes or props?
A. Whodunnit players come in costume and "armed"
with all the props required to play out the drama. Clients who
select games with period settings may encourage guests to come
in costume, and occasionally the host/hostess will provide small
props (boas, for instance, or hats) for guests to enhance the
period atmosphere. Contact
us for suggestions or assistance.
Are
Whodunnit Murder Mystery games suitable for families and children?
A.
No. Whodunnit Games are interactive dramas with a murder at
the heart. The objective for guests is to listen and observe,
ask questions of suspects, and form a conclusion as to the identity
of the wrongdoer. Even though the games are comic, we don't
consider them suitable for children.
Does
Whodunnit Inc. perform at private parties?
A. Certainly. Although the majority of our work is for
corporations, we have also entertained at anniversaries, birthday
parties, and wedding receptions, for example. If you are interested
in hosting a murder mystery party for the sheer fun of it, we'd
be delighted to come.
Does
Whodunnit offer parties open to the public?
A. No, sorry. However, founder Sherry Wilson has had
her interactive plays performed for the public, most recently
at the Fringe Festival. You can visit that web site here.
Or you might consider throwing your own murder mystery event;

What
is the minimum number of guests for one of Whodunnit's parties?
A. We have entertained at parties with as few as 10
guests, but we charge the same as we would for 35 people—the
minimum size for enough actors to perform a Whodunnit Game.
What
is the largest size group that Whodunnit can accept?
A.
We do not usually accept parties larger than 200 people.
CONTACT us and let us know what your needs are.
Where
are you based?
A.
Whodunnit, Inc. is based in the metropolitan area of
Minneapolis—St. Paul, Minnesota.
Do
you travel outside the Metro area?
A.
We have done so, but there will be an additional mileage
charge. If the traveling time exceeds 2 hours, you may be asked
to provide overnight accommodations.
