Corporate murder mystery themed events make for fun and interesting work team building interaction. Event organising for a large group can be a difficult and thankless task. If you are seeking an event to appeal to different age groups, interests and confidence levels, social events can be a challenge to select something that keeps most people happy.  More difficult still is attempting to create an event that helps with creating a sense of fun and unity.

Strange as it may sound, Murder Mystery Events have found that encouraging your team to come together to take part in and help solve a night of murder has some surprising effects.

People from different departments start speaking to one another – often for the first time discover a long term love of Inspector Morse or Agatha Christie.

Departmental divisions disappear – replaced by the desire to solve a new type of problem.  This problem isn’t about increasing sales or reducing costs – it’s solving a murder and catching the murdered before the strike again.

People may start to lose themselves in the new character that they have become for the night or start to see their colleagues as friends and not rivals.

In fact there are so many subtle and not so subtle changes that come over companies by the end of the evening, you might be surprised at the new friendships and working respect that develops by the end of the evening.

Compared to a normal night out in a restaurant, a Murder Mystery Event night out has a totally different feel to it.  For a start there is a single focus that makes the night more enjoyable.  But more than that, there is a real sense of everybody uniting together as an organisation against a common foe. Not a bad implied message to filter through any company.
