BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT ON SOUTH PARADE
Residents of the quiet enclave of Richards Town were awoken at dawn by a grisly discovery. Major Henderson, a decorated veteran of the Mysore State Railway security, was found slumped in his study at 'The Silver Oaks'.
"The tea was still warm, the doors bolted. It is as if the very air of the Nilgiris turned to poison within those walls," noted Inspector Rao of the Cantonment Police.

QUESTIONS FOR THE CORONER
What exactly is a murder mystery experience?
Think of it as a live detective game. You arrive, you're assigned a character with secrets, and a murder mystery unfolds in real time. You interrogate fellow guests, bluff, form alliances, and try to figure out who the killer is.
Where is it held?
Our murder mystery experience runs from our private space on Aga Abbas Ali Road, Bangalore. It's an intimate, curated setting built for intrigue. For private events, we come to your venue anywhere in Bangalore.
Do I need to act or perform?
Not at all. You don't need to memorise lines or put on a show. You'll receive a character card with your backstory, secrets, and goals. Whether you're a quiet strategist or a loud accuser, the game works either way.
Can I come alone or do I need a group?
Both work. Public sessions are designed for individuals, couples, and small groups joining a shared cast of strangers. For private events, you bring your own crew of 8–40 guests.
Do you serve food or drinks?
No — we don't serve food or alcohol. Your ticket covers the full mystery experience. You're welcome to bring your own food and drinks. For private events, you can arrange catering independently.
How much does it cost?
Tickets from ₹999 per person for the full mystery experience. Private events from ₹799 per person (minimum 8 guests). Contact us for current pricing and availability.
Is this good for corporate team building in Bangalore?
Yes — it's one of the most effective formats we've seen. Unlike passive workshops, a murder mystery requires real collaboration, lateral thinking, and communication under pressure. We regularly host corporate teams of 8–40 people across Bangalore and Bengaluru, with custom scenarios built around company culture.
