The Oceanside Palace Hotel of Maui was hosting their nightly luau on Sunset Beach. Exciting Polynesian spirit filled the air as the guests were greeted with festive Hawaiian leis. Everybody mingled while enjoying delicious appetizers. The celebration kicked off with fun party games, but it became apparent that some guests didn’t get along and others were hiding scandalous secrets. The party forged on with a delicious Hawaiian dinner while the guests enjoyed a fun challenge. With stuffed bellies, the luau party-goers gossiped and laughed, and to everyone’s horror, a dead body was discovered! The guests rallied together and underwent a thorough investigation including a fiber analysis provided by the local police department. Taking short breaks to relieve the stress of the investigation, they engaged in more exciting party games. They took turns accusing the suspects they believed were guilty, and everyone came clean with their involvement in the crime. Backed into a corner, the murderer confessed! After a brave escape attempt by the killer, the guests enjoyed a delectable dessert and reflected on the evening’s exciting events! It was a luau that the guests will remember forever!

Used this for office teambuilding because we are all remote now. The concept was well developed and entertaining.
It definitely took some reimagining to make it work in a remote setting. I prepared all the character instructions head of time to email during the game at appropriate intervals. That was effective.
Our team is quite and wasn't doing a lot of vocalizing. Once we opened a group chat all players participated at a brisk pace and afterward many reported that they had a good time. We've kept the chat log since it was so entertaining. Several other departments are looking at other parties and I recommended this website after our experience. Thanks!

We had a great time this weekend with just a party of 6.
The mystery was not overly challenging so we were able to solve it. I do think with more people it would have been more difficult. Characters were well developed and fun! Unknown on May 26th 2020
We wanted something fun to do for our adult twins' birthday during quarantine, and this was really memorable! We chose a mystery for a small group and everyone had a blast dressing up and getting into character. We can't wait to do another one for a larger group when quarantine is over!
