Custom crime experiences for hotels, event venues, and tourism providers

Developed by author Alexa Glaser: Custom crime experiences for company parties, hotels, and special locations.

I create tailor-made crime formats that expand your offerings, delight guests, and make your property or venue unmistakable. Whether hotel, bus tour, historical attraction, or event location: together we create an experience that goes far beyond a classic stay.

Which businesses are suitable for a crime experience?

Whether a hotel, event venue, bus tour operator or tourist business: Wherever people spend time together, a crime experience can become a special highlight.

Supporting program for historic hotels and locations such as crime tours

Historic hotels & holiday hotels

For places with character where atmosphere, history and spaces themselves can become part of the experience.

Bus companies with crime game, puzzling guests in teams

Bus companies & group programs

As an outstanding program highlight for group trips during longer journeys or special stays that should offer more than the standard.

Group event puzzles at the hotel's own crime game

Event venues & houses with supporting programs

For locations that want to expand their offerings with a distinctive experience and thereby position themselves more clearly.

Tourist sites & experience providers

For locations that want to make their history and special features tangible in new ways.

How you benefit from a crime experience

Competition is growing. Many establishments offer nice rooms, good food and friendly service. What guests really remember are special experiences. A custom crime format creates exactly that difference.

Easily integrable

Depending on the concept, the crime experience can be implemented with minimal staff effort. Self-playable variants or video moderation are also possible.

Reusable

The concept is developed so that it doesn’t just work once, but remains bookable as a permanent fixture. 

More booking incentives

A special experience creates additional booking occasions: tickets, packages, add-on services or longer stays can be specifically supported, as well as referrals.

Clear differentiation from the competition

Your property offers not just accommodation or dining, but an experience that guests will share and remember fondly.

This is how your crime experience can be structured

No hotel is the same. That’s why every crime experience is created individually. Together we develop the format that fits your guests, your premises, and your offerings.

As an integrated hotel experience

The crime experience is directly linked to your property or offering and becomes part of the stay. Guests book the experience in advance and receive, for example, a case file. Your offering becomes part of the story and provides a permanently playable experience.

Supporting program for historic hotels and locations such as crime tours

As a self-playable format

The experience can be designed so guests can play it independently. This creates an offering with low staffing requirements and high flexibility-ideal for individual schedules and different groups.

Company event with video addition during the crime dinner

With video moderation

Targeted video clips or the entire moderation require minimal staff and create an exciting, time-framed experience.

Review of: Murder mystery dinners for Christmas parties and crime team events

A thoroughly successful evening

For our company Christmas party with around 50 participants, Alexa created an individual crime game that was perfectly tailored to our company and provided varied entertainment during the meal courses. The story was creative, humorous, and at the same time built up suspense. There was lots of laughter, puzzling, and group discussion-exactly the right mix of suspense and entertainment. Overall it was a thoroughly successful evening that we remember fondly. Thank you for everything!! :-)

Review of: Murder mystery dinners for Christmas parties and crime team events

Perfect team event

Alexa developed a murder mystery dinner from our specifications about Volkach and viticulture that fits us and our venue very well. What particularly convinced us was how she created a coherent overall concept with an exciting plot and a clear game idea. With our corporate clients we repeatedly experience that participants quickly start conversations with each other, puzzle together and thereby meet one another as a team in a completely new way. Even guests without experience with crime games can easily get into the game and decide for themselves how actively they want to participate. For us this crime experience is a special opportunity to offer companies an individual, bonding team event that is implemented professionally and remains pleasantly uncomplicated for the responsible team lead.

Tailor-made

We first discuss your house, your guests, and your ideas. Then you will receive an assessment of which crime format might suit your establishment. Only if the concept, scope, and execution suit you will you decide on a collaboration.

Depending on the concept, at an evening event about 6 to 80 people can play at the same time. With a permanently integrated offering, the number of guests is unlimited, as play takes place independently.

No. The experience can be part of a stay that guests enjoy regardless of the time of day. The offering can run like a red thread through an evening or be combined with a meal. The integration will be tailored to your establishment.

Yes. Menus, wine tastings, city tours, wellness services, overnight packages, or other program elements can be incorporated into the story on request. This creates a coherent experience rather than an isolated add-on.

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 between place and story that makes the experience special.

No. You do not need experience with mystery events. I will support you from the first idea through implementation and develop a concept that fits your resources, rooms, and processes.

As little as possible. After a joint conversation I develop the case and coordinate all important points with you. Your team can continue to focus on its guests.

Yes. Many properties can attract not only overnight guests with a crime mystery experience but also visitors from the local area. This creates an additional reason to visit your property.

The crime experience is suitable for hotel guests, corporate groups, travel groups, and local guests. I even develop detective cases for children or teenagers. Together we define the target audience so that the crime experience creates attractive added value.

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.

A tailor-made crime experience provides an extra reason to book and makes your property emotionally tangible. Guests take away not just a stay, but a story. This creates conversation, memories, and recommendations.

Every story is created anew. Instead of ready-made standard cases, I develop a criminal case that fits your house, your target audience, and your atmosphere. This creates an experience that exists only with you.

There is no stage, no audience and no standard story. Your guests become part of the case themselves and experience your house from a new perspective. Every criminal case is developed individually and fits exactly to your establishment. No murder mystery dinner with actors carried out purely for entertainment can offer that.

Yes. A custom-developed crime experience turns your venue itself into the setting of the story. Your rooms, your atmosphere, your region, or special details of your business can be incorporated into the case. This creates an experience that not only entertains guests but links them directly to your venue.
