CHOOSE FROM TWO FORMATS

Active Cases

Performed with three performers, each playing multiple suspects, in 100 minutes with a 60 minute group interrogation, followed by a 40 minute culminating experience of "Here's What Happened," which can be run concurrently or with a gap in between.

The Immersive Experience

Performed with five performers where stations are assigned and participants move between stations to interrogate and spend time with each suspect. This experience is two to three hours in length and delves deep into character analysis and improvisation to uncover the culprit. Makes a fun sleepaway camp experience/ color war breakout!
