\r\n Murder in Three Acts (two hours)\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n Our Murder in Three Acts is a killer for limited \r\n budgets. Our actors perform a short three-act play incorporating \r\n clues to solve the mystery. After Act I, the audience begins its \r\n investigation. Act II thickens the plot so the audience can \r\n continue its pursuit of the murder. Act III brings a solution for \r\n suspects, motive and method. There\'s plenty of time for group \r\n participation – and even more time for fun.

\r\n\r\n

\r\n Prime Suspect - a mystery game for small groups (one to one and a \r\n half hours)\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n This mystery game packs a double entertainment wallop. First, \r\n members of the audience participate in an auction – bidding with Mystery \r\n Shop money. Your financial success depends upon how astutely you \r\n bid and how well your investment fares. As the success or failure \r\n of each investment is revealed, more facts about a murder surface. \r\n The audience uses this evidence to determine the prime suspect.

\r\n $\"Children\'s$

\r\n

It\'s \r\n not a crime to grow kids\' minds!

\r\n

Children love a good mystery. \r\n The Mystery Shop provides an interactive, participatory \r\n mystery that gets children involved and thinking.

\r\n

Our CHILDREN\'S MYSTERY \r\n (Grades 3-6) starts with a short play, presented by \r\n professional actors, that outlines the "case." (PLEASE NOTE: \r\n in keeping with family-sensitive values, there are NO \r\n murders in our children\'s mystery programs -- only good, \r\n clean baffling fun!) The audience (up to 100) work in \r\n teams to solve the mystery. The children must solve riddles, \r\n puzzles and coded messages. They can also "buy" clues with \r\n official Mystery Shop Investigation Bucks.

\r\n

As much fun as our play \r\n offers, The Mystery Shop offers your children so much more:

\r\n

Teamwork: \r\n Each child contributes toward a solution as part of a \r\n randomly chosen team.
Friendly competition: \r\n Teams compete against each other.
Observation and recall: \r\n Clues are hidden within the play so children will have to \r\n listen carefully and remember what they heard. \r\n
Decision-making: \r\n Clues and hints can be bought but there aren\'t enough \r\n official Mystery Shop Investigation Bucks available to buy \r\n all the clues. The kids have to spend carefully. \r\n
Deductive reasoning: \r\n While the puzzles and riddles aren\'t hard, they will take \r\n some thought and concentration.
