how it works

Immerse yourself in another time, another place, another you. Turn back the clocks, because for about two hours, you’ll be partying … as someone else.

Dial Us For Murder combines the best of mystery parties with the best of interactive role-playing events. At our parties, every guest gets to be a character, live in another time, pursue their passions, and yes, solve murders. Who knows? You might even be the culprit… or a victim.

THE CUSTOMIZED CHARACTER

Your custom fit character is based on your own requests in a Questionnaire. Share your level of comfort and personality qualities that sound fun. Are you the fly on the wall, goofy sidekick, Don Juan, over-the-top Diva, evil mastermind, or the slippery spy? Are you comfortable being loud and boisterous or do you prefer silently slinking in the shadows?

You can play with all the characters, but you can also request special connections with partners, friends, and crushes. We’ve made many a match at our parties!

Got quirky skills you want to show off? Tell us! A terrible accent? Sweet! A fabulous wig that’s waiting for her debut? Let us know!

Bringing Duran Duran’s John Taylor to the party? We’re comping you and your friends. Drinks on us.

Several days before the party, you’ll receive your character description with your background, dramas, goals, and clues to various mysteries, a Who’s Who of everyone, and Instructions.

THE EVENT

While a few professional actors may be in the mix to help move things along, you don’t have to rely on them for instructions, You might not even be able to identify them. You, the guests, control the bulk of the narrative. You can play as deeply as you want and be as integral as you’d like to the many plot lines.

When the party wraps up, try your hand at solving various mysteries, hear the answers, and mingle out of character, spilling secrets.
