FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
to Alexa Glaser
Non-binding inquiry?
How does a non-binding inquiry work?We first talk about your house, your guests and your ideas. Afterwards you will receive an assessment of which crime format might suit your establishment. Only when concept, scope and implementation suit you, do you decide on collaboration.
Number of guests?
How many guests can participate?Depending on the concept, about 6 to 80 people can play simultaneously at an evening event. For a permanently integrated offering the number of guests is unlimited, as play happens independently of each other.
With a menu?
Does the crime experience have to be combined with a menu?No. The experience can be part of a stay that guests engage with independently of the time of day. The offering can run like a red thread through an evening or be combined with a meal. Integration is tailored individually to your establishment.
Bookable add-on offering?
Can existing offerings be integrated?Yes. Menus, wine tastings, city tours, wellness offerings, overnight packages or other program items can be incorporated into the story upon request. This creates a coherent experience instead of an isolated add-on program.
Our premises?
Can our rooms be incorporated into the story?Absolutely. Historic buildings, cellars, gardens, restaurants, conference rooms, or special corners of your house can become part of the plot. It is precisely this connection of place and history that makes the experience special.
Possible even without experience?
Does our venue need prior experience with murder mystery dinners or events?No. You do not need experience with crime events. I accompany you from the first idea to implementation and develop a concept that fits your capabilities, spaces, and processes.
A lot of effort?
How much effort will this require from our team?As little as possible. After an initial conversation I develop the case and coordinate all important points with you. Your team can continue to focus on its guests.
Offer for external guests?
Is the offer also suitable for external guests?Yes. Many venues can attract not only overnight guests but also visitors from the region with a crime experience. This creates an additional reason to visit your venue.
Which target group?
For which guests is the offer suitable?The crime experience is suitable for hotel guests, corporate groups, tour groups, and visitors from the region. I even develop detective cases for children or teenagers. Together we define the target group so that the crime experience creates attractive added value.
One-time or recurring event?
Can we offer the experience regularly?Depending on the concept, the crime experience can be developed as a recurring event, a seasonal highlight, or a permanent offering. Multiple different cases or an ongoing crime series are also possible.
Is it worth it?
Why is a bespoke crime experience worthwhile?A tailored crime experience creates an additional reason to book and makes your property emotionally tangible. Guests take away not just a stay but a story. That generates conversation, memories, and recommendations.
How individual?
How individualized is the crime experience?Every story is created anew. Instead of ready-made standard cases, I develop a criminal case that fits your property, your target audience, and your atmosphere. This creates an experience that exists only with you.
Classic murder mystery dinner?
How does the concept differ from a classic murder mystery dinner?There is no stage, no audience, and no standard story. Your guests become part of the case themselves and experience your property from a new perspective. Each criminal case is developed individually and fits your operation exactly. No murder mystery dinner with actors, performed purely for entertainment, can offer that.
Murder mystery dinner as marketing?
Is a crime experience also a branding tool?Yes. A custom-developed crime experience turns your property itself into the setting of the story. Your rooms, your atmosphere, your region, or special details of your operation can feed into the case. This creates an experience that not only entertains guests but directly links them to your property.
Murder mystery dinner costs?
What does the crime event cost?The price starts at about €2,900 per event. Since each story is developed individually and tailored to your company, you will receive a suitable quote after a short preliminary discussion.
Last-minute changes
What happens with last-minute changes?Changes in the number of participants, procedure, or schedule can usually be accommodated flexibly. Together we will find a suitable solution even at short notice.
International teams?
Is the event also suitable for international teams?In principle, yes. Depending on the composition of the team, content and procedure can be adapted. Just contact me so we can find the right solution.
Effort and preparation?
Do we need to prepare anything?No. I take care of the complete preparation, execution, and moderation. You only provide the location and can relax and focus on your guests.
Event location or restaurant?
Where does the event take place?The crime event can be held in almost any location. Whether company, hotel, restaurant or event venue: the concept is adapted to the respective circumstances. I operate throughout the whole of southern Germany.
Murder mystery dinner duration?
How long does the crime event last?As a rule, the event lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. However, it can be flexibly adapted to your schedule and either take place in a compact format or span the entire evening.
Moderated game?
Who moderates the event?The event is personally moderated by me. I guide the story, provide tension, structure, and the appropriate rhythm. This creates a professional yet relaxed flow in which all participants are optimally involved.
Murder mystery events as a series?
Can we book multiple murder mystery events without experiencing the same story?Yes. For recurring events I develop new cases. On request, the stories can even be connected into an ongoing mystery series so that your employees solve a new case at each event.
Players don't know each other, a problem?
Is the event also suitable for employees who are not well acquainted with each other?Absolutely. Investigating together quickly gets people talking. Especially for cross-site teams, new employees, or mixed departments, this creates natural interaction.
Murder mystery dinner as a team event
Why is a crime event particularly suitable for company parties?Because everyone is actively involved. Instead of a program item that is merely consumed, the team becomes part of the story. That creates conversation, shared successes and memories that last long after the evening.
Do participants receive roles?
Do participants need to act or play roles?No. Nobody has to perform in front of the group or act anything out. Participants solve puzzles together, collect clues and combine evidence. Those who want to contribute more can do so. Those who prefer to investigate as a team are equally welcome.
Murder mystery dinner as a company party?
Why is a crime event particularly suitable for company parties?Because everyone is actively involved. Instead of a program item that is merely consumed, the team becomes part of the story. That creates conversation, shared successes and memories that last long after the evening.
CEO as the victim?
Can our CEO be the victim?On request, people, departments or typical company situations can be humorously incorporated into the story. I always ensure that everyone feels comfortable and that fun is the focus.
Which story?
What story awaits us?Each crime event receives an individual plot developed specifically for your company. On request, your industry, your premises, your company headquarters or typical situations from everyday work life are incorporated into the case. This way no standard program is created, but a crime story that exists exactly once: with you.
Murder mystery dinner as a corporate event?
Why is a crime event particularly suitable for company parties?Because everyone is actively involved. Instead of a program item that is merely consumed, the team becomes part of the story. That creates conversation, shared successes and memories that last long after the evening.
