The story begins with the mysterious death of celebrity vegan restaurateur Chef Connor E. Sewer, whose body has been discovered in the dumpster behind his own award-winning restaurant. The police are baffled, the restaurant reviews are suspicious, and every guest has a motive to lie. The only way to solve the crime is to work together.
This isn't a show your team watches. It's a mystery they solve.
Every participant receives a unique, scripted character complete with a personality, a relationship to the late chef, and a secret. Because everyone has important clues to share, every guest has a reason to participate. The result is an experience that naturally encourages conversation, laughter, teamwork, and a healthy amount of playful suspicion without requiring anyone to be an actor or improv expert. This game is created by an award-winning design team to get introverts and extroverts alike chatting and laughing together.
What's Included
A live professional host who guides the experience from beginning to end.
A unique scripted character for every participant, ensuring everyone plays an active role.
An original comedy murder mystery with a real solution and a hidden killer. The game is repayable, as different versions will have different killers!
Escape-room-inspired puzzles woven into the investigation, including hidden messages, suspicious restaurant reviews, clue decoding, and the all-important question of whether a mysterious red stain is blood... or simply ketchup.
Full event facilitation, including introductions, pacing, rules, hints when teams get stuck, breakout room management for larger groups, and a dramatic final reveal.
A final vote where teams identify the killer before the truth is revealed.
Group Size and Team Structure
Deadly Dining comfortably accommodates groups of 5 to 1000 guests.
Smaller teams investigate together in a single mystery, giving everyone plenty of opportunities to question suspects and piece together clues. Larger groups are divided into parallel teams of up to 22 players, with each team receiving its own complete mystery, suspects, puzzles, clues, and killer. Instead of becoming spectators in a large event, every participant enjoys a fully interactive investigation.
Organizers are welcome to provide pre-assigned teams based on departments, locations, or projects. Alternatively, the host can create balanced teams before the investigation begins.
How the Experience Works
Guests join from anywhere in the world using a single web link. There are no downloads, software installations, accounts, or complicated technical setup required. If someone can click a link, they can play.
Whether your employees are working from home, in different offices, or across multiple countries and time zones, everyone joins the same investigation together. The host manages every aspect of the event, allowing organizers to relax and participate alongside their colleagues instead of worrying about logistics or facilitation.
Deadly Dining is ideal for:
Remote team building
Virtual holiday parties
Online company celebrations
Virtual happy hours
Client appreciation events
Employee recognition events
Remote onboarding
Hybrid team socials
Global all-hands activities
Cross-office team bonding
Whether your team has 5 people or 1000, the experience scales seamlessly while keeping every participant actively involved from beginning to end.
Hosting Style
The live host keeps the investigation moving while adapting to each group's personality and energy. High-energy teams are encouraged to embrace the chaos, while quieter groups receive extra guidance and encouragement so everyone feels comfortable participating.
The journey is filled with ridiculous twists, eccentric suspects, mysterious bread cults, questionable mafia connections, and even a government agency that has absolutely no business investigating a vegan restaurant. The combination of structured gameplay and spontaneous comedy makes every event feel fresh, unpredictable, and memorable.
