June 10, 2025For my parents' 50th wedding anniversary we thought it would be awesome to have a murder mystery and In Cahoots Event Entertainment absolutely made the event so much fun! Not only were they super easy to work with, but they were super nice, brought great energy to the party, and were able to engage 3 generations of family members for over an hour (not an easy job). The whole process of putting this together could not have been any easier because they did everything. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to book them again.

May 6, 2025These two dressed the part and were great to have hosting our Singo evening of entertainment. They were funny and even covered us when we didn't have enough prizes for all of the winners. They think of everything you might need for your event and were great at communicating prior to the event. Thank you and great job!

In Cahoots Murder Mysteries will work with you to select the perfect entertainment to suit your needs. We provide various murder mystery themes to choose from (listed under "Set List"), but we're also always happy to tailor our performance (scenario theme, show length, number of actors, your guests' participation level, clean/dirty humor, etc.) to your requests. Just let us know and we'll make the show yours by embarrassing your good-natured ham of a boss or by making your favorite guest the star of the show. In addition to murder mystery actors we have decades of experience as professional singers, improv actors, public speakers, educators, and MCs, so we can also create a pub-style trivia game, game show, Singo-style music bingo, improv comedy show, or even team-building workshop for you. You can expect fun, interactive entertainment from talented, professional, flexible folks. We perform at your venue. We have over a decade experience making audiences laugh at restaurants, theaters, historic dinner trains, hotel conference rooms, country clubs, universities, living rooms, backyards, and more. Although we are based in Lawrence, KS, we love to travel, and we're flexible on our fees depending on your budget!

We are based in Lawrence, KS, but we've performed murder mysteries together all over Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Iowa for over a decade with thousands of shows under our belt!

With decades of experience in live theatre, vocal performance, and improv comedy, we specialize in making sure our audiences are engaged, interacting, laughing, and having an absolutely fantastic time!

--Our interactive murder mystery shows work for a wide range of crowd sizes: we've performed for intimate 8-person dinner parties all the way up to 350-person corporate events in large banquet halls. However, we have found that our shows work best for crowds of 10-150.
--Our interactive shows typically run around 90-minutes long.
--In cases where a meal is being served, it's best to start the murder mystery after your guests have finished eating since those playing suspects will have to move around the room to get interrogated by the detectives.
--Encouraging your guests to dress up for the theme always makes it more fun, but is never required.
--We travel to the location of your choosing. Clients book us as an entertainment provider. We do not operate a venue or provide catering services.
--We provide all our own equipment and small prizes for your winning guests.
--We typically arrive a half hour early for your event.

We performed murder mysteries in the narrow aisle of a train every weekend for 8 years, so we do not need much space at all! A stage is not necessary.
