Great Service for University Parties

We had Whodunit Games for our university holiday party in our department. They were great to work with, very responsive, and crafted a completely unique storyline for our department (we sent them lots of information about 1.5 months in advance so highly recommend to book early and communicate if that's what you would like!). The story was full of relevant inside jokes for our department and very interactive with lots of speaking parts and side quests. We did about 30-45 minute acts (two parts) which was honestly a bit tight but worked out in the end.

100% Recommend, SO MUCH FUN!

Such a fun experience! Hired Leslea to host my daughter's 14h birthday party, and it was a HUGE hit!! Leslea was very involved, and the game itself was immersive, and she did such a great job of incorporating our home, and different rooms into the game! It's the day after, and the girls are still talking about how much they loved it, and how fun AND CREEPY Leslea was!
Would 100% hire/recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed!
Thank you!

Custom Murder Mysteries are Deadly

We booked Whodunit Games for 2 custom murder mysteries at Fyre Lake Winery, and they did not disappoint. After bringing the statement of work to the owner, we talked and came up with a plan to deliver some fun nights of entertainment to our guests. Flexibility is important to us and Whodunit Games was perfect for the job. The reviews of the Mystery Nights topped many of the events that we run at the winery.

Unlike anything else!

Our group got together for what we thought was a regular hang-out, but it became a mystery/escape event we will never forget. The story was intricate and fascinating as we worked together to find and solve clues. It was an experience unlike anything I have done before, and it was all catered for our specific group of people. I couldn't recommend "Whodunit Games" more!

About

Hi there! My name is Leslea Horn and Whodunit Games is definitely a labor of love. When asked by my church to write a murder mystery to raise money for Convoy of Hope, I had no idea how it would snowball and affect my life in such an amazing way! After the joy I experienced in creating a memorable event for such a special cause, the spark was lit! Whodunit Games was born and my life was forever changed.

I've always loved Murder Mysteries and Escape Rooms; but I have never felt like I got everything that I wanted out of either experience. If it was a murder mystery, I wanted my mind to be challenged in a more analytical way... if it was an escape room, I wanted more storyline and character development... For my "difficult to please self," I made it my mission to create a new genre of "suspense entertainment," and Whodunit Games was the result. No matter your venue or event type, you can expect an amazing storyline, fun and unique characters for all of your guests, organized chaos while hunting for "clues," escape room elements including - but not limited to - safes, lockboxes, riddles, puzzles, locked/chained exits, and a Whodunit Host that will manage your game from start to finish during the event.

Additional booking notes

We can make a Whodunit Game work in any location, especially since each game is customized to fit YOUR space! During our initial consultation, we can discuss this in more detail!
