Spy School Murder Mystery

A Top Secret Team Experience
Your Mission? Graduate Spy School… Then Solve a Murder.

Step inside Spy School, where rookie recruits are trained to become elite agents, if they can survive the challenges set by the Head of the Agency.
This high-energy virtual experience blends espionage antics, clue-cracking chaos, and a full murder mystery twist.

Your team will kick off with spy training: decoding messages, uncovering intel, and completing cheeky photo and video challenges to prove your skills. Just when you think you’ve earned your badge…the real mission begins.

One of our top operatives has been eliminated. A killer is on the loose, and your newly-minted spy team has just minutes to crack the case before the mole vanishes, and the Agency pulls the plug.

How It Works

 

Before the Event

Once you’ve booked, we’ll provide everything needed to get your group ready for game day, including participant joining instructions and app download links. Teams can download the app before the event, ensuring everyone is ready to play when the activity begins.

 

The Start (15 mins)

Remote Hosted: Your host will welcome the group, explain the rules, create random teams and move participants into breakout rooms.

Self Managed: You’ll receive full access to the game platform and a pre-recorded briefing video. Your team will be responsible for setting up the video call, playing the briefing and creating breakout rooms.

Either way, participants are ready to start competing within minutes.

 

During the Challenge (60 mins)

After the briefing, teams are sent into breakout rooms for 60-minutes of app-powered gameplay. They’ll begin by completing a series of spy-themed trivia, puzzles and training challenges to prove they have what it takes to graduate from Spy School. But training only gets them so far… once they’ve earned their stripes, they’ll receive their first real assignment—a thrilling whodunnit mission where they’ll investigate the murder of Number 1 and identify the killer before time runs out.

 

The Wrap-Up (15 mins)

Teams return to the main meeting room for the results reveal.

Remote Hosted: Your host will reveal who murdered Agent Number 1, explain how the mystery unfolded, award bonus points to the teams who identified the killer correctly, and announce the winning spy team.

Self-Managed: The live leaderboard remains available throughout the game, allowing you to review the results, reveal the solution and celebrate the winning detectives with your group.
