Halloween Office Murder murder mystery 50-250 people

O.R. International is a company which apparently can do no wrong. Oddly enough, it’s in the same business as the one you and your colleagues currently work for. At this event, all of you will be O.R. employees attending its Annual Forum. As the Forum is taking place so close to Halloween, CEO Richard Onan has asked everyone to come “as a ghost, ghoul or something even scarier – e.g. a tax inspector…”

The plot can be tailored to include some information and in-jokes about your company. Some of the characters will be played by guests and everyone will work in teams. Your aim will be: 1) to trade information; 2) to win the Top Employees award; 3) to find out who or what killed your colleagues; 4) to avoid being turned into a pumpkin. Contact us for more information.

Halloween Ghost Hunt 8-250 people

CAN BE COMBINED WITH A MURDER MYSTERY OR ANOTHER OF OUR TEAM-BUILDING EVENTS TO PROVIDE AN EVEN SPOOKIER HALLOWEEN.
Our Halloween Ghost Hunt is a Treasure Hunt designed specifically to finish at a pub or restaurant of your choice. It begins with a briefing by renowned Victorian ghost hunter, the Honourable Alfred Toppington. He organises you into teams and lays down a challenge: to get to the restaurant by following a route you need to work out, using our special Ghost Map. Along the way, there will be some clues for you to solve,  various spooky items to acquire and some  ghostly eccentrics for you to track down.

When you get to the end point, one final challenge awaits you: to identify which of the assembled party is, in fact, a ghost. But don’t let the fun stop there. If you want to the frights to carry on, follow up our Halloween Ghost Hunt with one of the murder mysteries described above or one of our other Halloween team-building events. Contact us for more information.
