The Mystery of Mr. Smith

Work together to solve the mystery of a murder at the Golden Palace Hotel and step into the shoes of true detectives!

„Just One More Question!”

The starting point for this nail-biting, interactive murder mystery team-building experience:

“While the guests of the luxurious Golden Palace Hotel slept soundly and the city’s glittering lights danced on the river’s surface, a single scream pierced the night. By morning, Mr. Smith, the hotel’s owner and director, had been found dead in his suite on the private rooftop terrace.”

During the game, you’ll be divided into smaller teams. Each team will visit a series of stations, where exciting challenges await at every turn:

  • Complete a challenge successfully to earn valuable clues that will help you solve the murder.

  • Fail a challenge, and you’ll receive misleading clues that make cracking the case even harder.

Will you crack the puzzles, anagrams, and interactive challenges, or will the killer get away with murder?

Now you can step into Columbo’s shoes without having to wear his signature grey trench coat! 😉

What can you expect from the next few hours?

Discover how the experience unfolds from beginning to end.

Of course, detectives in the figurative sense! Once you arrive, we’ll explain the rules, divide you into teams as agreed in advance, and then the investigation begins!

Teams will work their way through a series of stations:

  1. Snapshots of Crime: Re-enacting crime scenes.

  2. Secret Shooting Range: Use Nerf blasters to knock down cups containing anagrams, then solve the scrambled words.

  3. The Smuggler’s Trail: The team splits into two groups facing each other. The challenge is to switch places.

  4. Swing Slalom: Players must guide one another through a challenging obstacle course.

It’s not just about getting the answers right. Speed and gathering key pieces of information are just as important. The experience concludes with an awards ceremony and, hopefully, the unmasking of the culprit!
