An Immersive Murder Mystery Party of Luaus and Liars

While most vacation at Margaritaland, an exclusive tropical resort, to get away from their troubles, for one unfortunate soul, it will mean the end of their travels altogether.

At the resort, the guilty will mingle among the guests and everyone will be left with the task of deciphering between the facts and falsehoods that plague this paradise in order to make a killer pay for their crime.

How It Works

How This Murder Mystery Works

  1. Arrive & Get Your Role

    Check in, receive your character, and get quick help jumping in. (Private parties may receive roles ahead of time.)

  2. Kickoff & Objectives

    Our host explains how objectives work, how to interact, and how play money/prizes work — then invites everyone to mingle.

  3. Mingle, Trade Secrets, Build Motives

    Guests circulate, uncover relationships, and negotiate information through real conversation — no scripts required.

  4. The Murder & Investigation Begins

    At the turning point, the victim “dies,” new info is released, and the room shifts into detective mode.

  5. Evidence, Voting, Reveal & Prizes

    Official evidence is presented, guests vote on who committed the crime, and the solution is revealed.

Who Will You Be Playing?

In a Baker Street Mystery murder mystery party, there are no actors—you and your guests take on the roles of suspects, sleuths, and secret-keepers. Each person receives a unique character with a backstory, hidden objectives, and relationships to uncover throughout the evening. Whether you’re the psychic leading the séance or the maid with something to hide, everyone plays a vital role in solving the case. Here are a few of the characters in the story.
