Murder Mystery Online Shows: Interactive Fun Anywhere in the World
Think murder mysteries only work in ballrooms and banquet halls? Think again. At Smoking Gun Entertainment, we’ve taken our interactive murder-mystery shows online—and the results have been surprisingly brilliant.
Whether your team is spread across Canada, the U.S., Europe, or beyond, our online murder mystery shows bring people together in real time for laughter, collaboration, and a little bit of delicious mayhem. No travel. No awkward small talk. Just a genuinely fun shared experience—no matter where your guests are logging in from.
How Do Online Murder Mystery Shows Work?
Our virtual shows are live, hosted by professional improvisers and actors (yes, real humans—no pre-recorded nonsense). Guests join via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or your preferred platform, and the show unfolds right in front of them.
Participants:
- Meet outrageous suspects
- Watch short scenes unfold
- Ask questions live
- Examine digital evidence
- Groups are then put in smaller teams and interrogate the suspects as they come through the various rooms
- And ultimately try to solve the crime
The best part? Everyone participates at their comfort level. Some guests dive in with questions and theories; others sit back, laugh, and enjoy the chaos. There’s no pressure—but there’s always fun.
Perfect for Remote Teams and Global Groups
Online murder mystery events are especially popular for:
- Corporate team building
- Holiday parties (yes, Christmas still works online!)
- Client appreciation events
- Conferences and retreats
- Friend groups and milestone celebrations
We’ve hosted virtual shows for companies with employees in multiple time zones, and the feedback is always the same: “This felt way more interactive than we expected.”
When people can’t physically be in the same room, shared experiences matter even more. A live mystery gives everyone something to talk about—and laugh about—long after the call ends.
What Makes Our Virtual Shows Different?
Not all online entertainment is created equal. What sets our shows apart is that they’re designed specifically for interaction.
We don’t just “perform at” your group. We perform with them.
- Our scripts are built for audience participation
- The comedy is smart, fast, and inclusive
- The mystery actually makes sense (yes, really)
- And no one ever gets singled out or embarrassed
We also customize the experience. Want inside jokes woven in? A suspect named after your CEO? A theme that fits your brand or event? Done.
Do Online Shows Still Feel Personal?
Absolutely—and sometimes even more so.
Because everyone is on screen, guests feel seen and involved. Chat comments become part of the show. Reactions are instant. The energy is surprisingly electric.
We’ve found that quieter team members often feel more comfortable participating online than in a crowded room—which makes virtual shows a fantastic equalizer.
Global Entertainment, Zero Logistics Headaches
One of the biggest perks? We bring the show to you.
No shipping. No staging. No worrying about venues, catering, or travel schedules.
If your group can log in, we can entertain them—anywhere in the world.
Ready to Solve a Crime from Your Couch?
If you’re looking for a unique, funny, and genuinely engaging online event, a virtual murder mystery might be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
At Smoking Gun Entertainment, we believe great entertainment should connect people—even when they’re continents apart. And if a little murder helps break the ice? Even better.
