Event Overview
A luxury ski trip turns deadly in this high-altitude whodunnit. On your way to a snow-covered holiday retreat, disaster strikes — an avalanche leaves your group stranded, the only option being to press on toward the resort. But when you arrive, you’re thrown into a chilling mystery: a staff member has been found dead in the snow. What first appears to be a tragic accident quickly unravels into something far more sinister. With one body already uncovered and a second murder close behind, it’s up to your team to piece together the truth before the killer claims another victim.
Participants join the live-hosted virtual murder mystery party via their laptops and use our custom-built game interface to investigate the crime scene, meet the suspects, and explore the mountain resort in a bid to uncover the murderer — and their motive.
