The Chaos Committee
We're the people who show up to your party and convince your guests to accuse each other of fictional murder. One of us writes the crimes. One of us commits them (on stage). And one of us makes sure nobody actually goes to jail. We take fun seriously.

Chief Mystery Officer
I'm the one who shows up at your party pretending to know who murdered someone.
I started Lost Valley Mysteries because I believe the best parties have a story. Not just "stand around and chat" but "stand around, chat, and accuse your coworker of fictional homicide."
I love community and parties so combining the two with my third interest: Unsolved Mysteries was a natural collaboration. I build murder mysteries, develop deeply unhinged character backstories, and watch people have way too much fun pretending to be suspicious.
I handle everything—writing the mysteries, running the events, and making sure your casual friend Jessica doesn't actually get offended when someone accuses her of poisoning the victim (It's all part of the game, Jessica!).
When I'm not plotting fictional crimes, I'm probably reading about them. Thrillers, horror, true crime, mystery novels—if someone dies on page one, I'm interested. I consume stories in every format I can get my hands on. You could say I've been researching this job my whole life.

Director of Details & Dark Deeds
Andrew keeps the chaos organized. From logistics to marketing to helping build the twisted stories behind each mystery, he's the behind-the-scenes brain that makes sure everything runs smoothly—so the rest of us can focus on the murder.

Chief Drama Officer & Resident Villain
Patrick is our Drama KING. With a background in theater, he's the one people love to hate. If he's not causing the audience to hope he dies, he's making you believe someone actually got murdered. Whether he's playing a shady character or guiding you through the investigation, he is staying in character and having way too much fun — and it’s contagious.
