Murder Mysteries

Murder, passion, deceit, revenge. Not your average company party! It's a Wild Bill’s murder mystery. One minute everyone's enjoying an elegant dinner and the next minute there's a scuffle, a scream, and a body collapses to the floor. No cause for alarm, the "dead body" is one of our professional actors. Before you can dial 9-1-1, our hilarious cast will lead you on an adventure of greed, jealousy and homicidal mania.

Your guests piece together the clues and attempt to solve the crime by interacting with the characters. The end comes with a spectacular confrontation as the murderer is revealed. Those who figure out "whodunit" win a prize for their detecting skills.

All of our shows include professional actors, as well as a director, piano player, costumes, props, sound system, programs, bribe money and honorary detective certificates. You are not required to provide dinner for our personnel. However, a dressing room and piano are required at the location. If a piano is not available, we will need to rent one.
