Murder Mystery

For 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.

Great Times

These 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!

What to expect

In Cahoots Event Entertainment 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, our troupe is full of talented singers, improv actors, public speakers, educators, and MCs, so we can also create a pub-style trivia game, game show, Singo music bingo, improv comedy show, or even team-building workshop for you. You can expect fun, interactive entertainment from our talented, professional, and flexible team. We've performed at restaurants, theaters, historic dinner trains, hotel conference rooms, country clubs, universities, and more. Although we are based in Lawrence, KS, we're willing to travel, and we're flexible on our fees depending on your budget!

You’re invited to the rowdiest hitchin’ the Ozarks has ever seen — Bambi Jo and Bobby Jo are finally getting married, but their families ain't happy about it! To make it worse, an especially beloved (particularly stubborn, harry, and hoove-ed) family member doesn't show up to the wedding! What happened to Cousin Jim?

The Billionaire's Banquet: Something's Fishy!

It's the 1920's and prohibition is in full swing. Clive and Caroline MacGuffin from the big city have arrived in the Wild West town of Dusty Gulch to get a famous moonshine recipe from the saloon owner and bring her back east with them to oversee mass production and nationwide distribution once Prohibition is over! Darn tootin'! Put on your best cowboy boots or bootlegger's glad rags! Whichever kind of "boot-iful" look you prefer, you'll be dressed right when somebody kicks the bucket!

You're invited to Gatsby's highly anticipated Christmas Gala! This soiree will have all of society's most notable and eccentric in attendance! Anybody who's anybody will be there! Why, I've heard Gatsby's parties are to die for!

If you're looking for a specific theme and you don't see it, just let us know! We can talk about customizing a murder mystery to meet your needs.

Setup requirements

We do not require any special equipment, though an in-house PA system/microphone is recommended if you have a large venue/crowd, but we can provide a portable PA system if necessary at no additional expense to you (please just let us know in advance).

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.
