Hosting a Mystery is Simple.
We handle the story, the setup, and the facilitation — you just gather your group and enjoy the fun.

How it works:
Step 2: Book Your Date
Tell us when and where — whether it’s at home, in the office, or at your favorite venue. We’ll confirm your booking within 1 business day.
Step 3: We Prepare the Mystery
Our team brings everything: story, role cards, clues, props, and a trained facilitator to guide the action.
Step 4: Play & Solve the Case
Guests jump into their roles, uncover secrets, and follow clues while our facilitator keeps the game flowing. Everyone gets a chance to shine.
Step 5: The Big Reveal
The mystery wraps with the dramatic reveal of the culprit, plus a chance for photos, applause, and bragging rights.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Think of it as a mix between a game night and interactive theatre. Guests take on eccentric roles, follow clues, and unravel a story that blends comedy, suspense, and drama. Instead of just watching, you and your group are the ones driving the plot — creating an experience that’s as entertaining as it is unforgettable.
-
Most events run 2–3 hours, depending on the group size and how much interaction guests want.
That includes setup, gameplay, and the big reveal. For corporate retreats or fundraisers, we can expand the timeline to include networking, catering breaks, or auctions.
-
Our mysteries scale from 8 guests in a living room to 100+ in a banquet hall.
We’ll guide you to the right package based on your group size so everyone has a role and stays engaged.
-
Costumes are optional but highly encouraged! We provide style suggestions for each mystery (e.g., 90s mall vibes, glamorous gala, modern influencer looks). Guests who want to keep it simple can play just fine without dressing up.
We also offer the potential for prizes at the end, with a voting prize (voted by party-goers) for Best Dressed, if you’re feeling extra competitive.
-
Absolutely. We can weave in inside jokes, company values, sponsor shoutouts, or nods to the guest of honor.
For sororities and bachelorettes, we often add personalized roles or clues for the bride-to-be.
For fundraisers, we’ll highlight the cause so it’s part of the story.
-
Most mystery parties are one-off games. Lost Valley Mysteries is built as a shared-universe: all our stories happen in the same fictional town with recurring characters, scandals, and history. That continuity makes the experience richer — your group isn’t just solving a case, you’re stepping into a living world that evolves with every event.
-
Not at all. Each mystery stands alone, so you can jump in fresh and have a great time.
But for returning players, there are hidden connections and Easter eggs that tie events together — making repeat bookings extra fun.
-
Anywhere you choose: private homes, sorority houses, offices, restaurants, breweries, banquet halls — even outdoor spaces. We bring the props and facilitation; you provide the location.
-
We can scale the content. Some stories are lighthearted and playful, others lean more dramatic. We’ll discuss your group and adjust accordingly (family-friendly, adult-themed, or professional).
-
As long as you have enough room for guests to mingle, sit, and move around, we can adapt. For larger events, venues with tables or breakout spaces work best.
-
Yes — role cards, props, story materials, and a facilitator to run the show. You only need to provide the space and whatever food/drinks you’d like for your guests.
-
Because every story adds a new layer to Lost Valley. Guests love seeing how characters, scandals, and clues connect across different events. It’s not just one game — it’s an evolving world they can revisit again and again.
