Put your Ottawa group inside a live whodunit where polished appearances hide comic secrets, suspicious alliances and clues written around your event.
Your Guests Become Detectives, Suspects & Potential Victims*
Our professional actors arrive incognito and turn your Ottawa dinner, meeting or celebration into a hilarious live investigation. Everyone watches for clues, questions suspects and tries to solve the crime.
