  • Madcapped Mysteries: The Most Original Murder Mystery Show EVER!!!

    The most original murder mystery show EVER, Madcapped Mysteries is a huge hit with corporate events, birthday oarties and even teen/tween events. Our top detective leads the event attendees in creating a completely original crime story.

    PICTURED: Walt Frasier at a Post Wine & Spirits, Larchmont, NY, whose celler is an actual historical speakeasy from the 1920s. It was the perfect setting for wine tasting, cheese plates and Madcapped Mysteries!

    Madcapped Mysteries

    The first few minutes is a live action MADLIBS style exposition. The detective’s opening monologue is completed with guests filling in the blanks. A true audience collaboration helps establish the crime – victim, location and means of the dastardly deed.

    THEN some or all (depending on size of crowd) of the audience become characters in the story, from friends and family, to colleagues at work or fellow students and miscellaneous towns folks (Mayor, police chief, CSI forensics, etc).

    THEN our detective names a few as their formal suspects and everyone else is deputized as a detective to interogate suspects, collaborate and solve the crime, usually in small teams.

    The show ends with our detective reading some or all of the final solutions. This is a common thread in just about every show, but the answers in a Madcapped Mysteries show are the most fun, and by far 💯 original. One team is named the winner. Prizes are also awarded to best actor, costume and more, as per audience votes.
