Six Suspects. Six Weapons. Six Rooms. One chance to get it right.

The wildly popular mystery board game takes on a whole new dimension in this hilarious team building scavenger hunt. The game’s perpetual victim, Mr. Boddy, has been murdered. You have a pretty good idea when it happened – after all, the body’s still warm. But by whom? Where? And how? In their roles as top detectives, your group has to piece together the rest of the puzzle.

Teams will move strategically as they search for all-important clues. Mystery and surprises lie around every corner, and each of the suspects has a dirty secret they’d rather you not learn about. It’s your job to sleuth out the truth.

As you’d imagine, team members must work together to get to the bottom of this murder mystery. They may also choose to cooperate with competing teams in order to identify the murder weapon and location. The first team to crack the case wins, basking in the glory that comes with solving a crime.

"Clue the Scavenger Hunt was well enjoyed and everyone had a great time. The actors were well thought of and people thought they played the characters great. We really like Larry’s “Forensic” shirt. Everyone truly enjoyed the last part where they had to do a skit on how they reached their conclusions. That WAS FUN AND FUNNY. All in all, it was a great success and the group had fun which is what it was all about."

"I just wanted to let you know how phenomenal Christian was last night. We showed up almost an hour late due to an accident on the Pike and when I got there he had already worked with the restaurant and adjusted the timeline for the evening so we could still do everything we had planned. He went WAY above and beyond what he was required to do and the team had so much fun playing Clue Live. Our experiences last night surpassed all our expectations and everyone enjoyed themselves."
