Not Your Average Murder Mystery Game
It's a Team Building Activity

High Society Charity Ball

Who Done It? The Murder Mystery Game Team Building Activity
This team building murder mystery game is unlike any you have seen before. Most murder mystery games are either run by hired actors (with most participants playing the role of bystander) or out-of-the-box-one-size-fits-all prescripted stories where one of the guests is knocked off and the rest have to guess who done it.

Murder Mystery Game - with a twist
Unlike other murder mystery games, this one is a true team building event. First of all there is no murder, so no one dies and has to sit out the game. Instead, this team building activity centers around a cluster of team building games played within the context of a high society charity ball. You and each of your team mates selects from over 100 characters to play. One of the characters is secretly designated the thief and they "steal" the pretend millions which has been raised at the high society charity ball. At that point the sluething begins.

Catching a Thief - Team Building Style
Each guest is given an envelope at the beginning of the game with various background player cards. These cards identify interesting and unique quirks, hobbies, experiences and achievements of the characters. As participants mingle player cards are exchanged. The more cards a player gathers the more clues they get to who the thief might be. Thief cards (which identify the background of the thief) can be won through successfully completing team building games.

Players are grouped into teams and compare their cards and clues. Teams must come to consensus and formal accusations are made as to which player is suspected to be the thief. However, before the thief is revealed...

Facilitating Team Learning
The Team Building USA facilitator (who also plays the role of Master of Ceremonies) leads a discussion which links the dynamics of the murdery mystery game to the parralels found in your company. The group explores the destructive side of work relationships (keeping secrets, spreading rumors, mistrust) as well as the positive side of teamwork (collaborating with your team mates, getting to know each other better, making problem solving fun). Each person is challenged to select one behavior to change back at work which will help their team go to the next level.

Bonus - You Help Needy Children
10% of the fee your company pays for this murder mystery game is donated in your name to a charity which helps needy children in poor countries. The donated money is used to sponsor a child providing food, clothing, medical care and an education. Use this team building activity to strengthen your work team and provide hope for a needy child. Both will thank you.
