Jest Murder Mystery Co.
Unleashing Fun and Experiential Employee Collaboration

Teams that genuinely enjoy each other’s company are more productive and collaborative. To create a positive work culture, organizations must help their employees break the ice and find common ground.

Jest Murder Mystery Co. is redefining team building and corporate entertainment through its interactive murder mystery dinner theatre entertainment. The company firmly places the spotlight on fostering engagement and camaraderie that extends beyond the event by creating an unforgettable shared experience. It is laying the foundation for fun-filled interactions and building cohesive teams, helping organizations experience a new approach to team bonding and corporate events.

“We focus more on participant experiences and interactions, bringing them together through a shared and funny experience that they can connect on,” says Leslie Franklin, CEO of Jest Murder Mystery Co.

It offers a selection of 14 show themes, ensuring there is something to suit every occasion and audience. From the lively and glamorous ‘Bullet in the Bathtub,’ set in the 1920s to the beloved characters of Charles Dickens’ timeless masterpiece ‘A Christmas Carol’ in ‘Dickens of a Killing,’ the themes offer a wide array of options.

Participants are assigned a unique role, including a murderer, suspects, and witnesses, setting the stage for a journey of collaborative discovery. Two highly trained actors from Jest Murder Mystery Co., who are improvisational experts, handle the event, prompting character mingling and interactive acts between participants.

Conducted during a meal service, the show plot unravels in between courses. These courses act as a break to give participants an opportunity to brainstorm the murderer’s identity and interact with fellow employees as they dine. Every show is split into two or three acts, with the final act followed by a mini appreciation ceremony where participation trophies are awarded depending on an individual’s involvement.

Jest Murder Mystery Co. can also customize shows to seamlessly incorporate inside jokes, competitor references, or specific requests. This level of personalization ensures a tailored and memorable experience for each client, leaving a lasting impression on attendees.

Every show is an opportunity for participants to step into the spotlight and immerse themselves in the unfolding experience. For this reason, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for clients is the top priority at Jest Murder Mystery Co. Its actors create a comfortable and relaxed environment, putting participants at ease from the start. Recognizing that some individuals may initially feel hesitant or unsure, the company allows everyone to choose their desired level of involvement. Instead of overwhelming participants with memorization, it provides small paragraphs with essential character details, encouraging creativity and self-expression.

Jest Murder Mystery Co. primarily serves the corporate sector, with organizations like Facebook, Amazon, and GoDaddy being part of its clientele. Demonstrating immense flexibility, it has held shows that range from 20 participants to 400. It can orchestrate an engaging murder mystery event with at least ten people present, making it the ideal choice for any gathering. It also collaborates with various venues, restaurants, bed and breakfast establishments, and catering services to offer public shows.

A previous client shared their satisfaction with the experience, stating, “An incredible experience designed to help bring people together. We used it as a work party event to help build more of a team environment in our branch and it worked unbelievable well. The actors were amazing and great at corralling the participants and keeping us all entertained.”

In response to the growing demand for virtual experiences, Jest Murder Mystery Co. has developed captivating and interactive shows tailored for online platforms. These virtual shows offer the same level of engagement and enjoyment, allowing geographically dispersed teams to participate simultaneously and fostering team building regardless of time zones.

Jest Murder Mystery Co. is a catalyst for laughter, collaboration, and connection, standing as a true partner for organizations by consistently delivering memorable performances that bring teams together.
