“A total delight! I hired The Mystery League to run a game during our all-company meetup. Afterwards, everyone told me they had a blast and wanted to know how I found The Mystery League. They were really blown away by the thoughtfulness and beautiful design of the puzzles.”

What is it?
I've packed all the excitement of an escape room into a portable experience that comes right to your office or chosen venue.
Teams of 6-8 players embark on a two-hour adventure, with me on-site as game master to provide hints and ensure everyone's having a great time.
All teams tackle the same game, in parallel. I calibrate the difficulty and the hints to ensure that everyone feels success by reaching the conclusion of the game.
After the game, I am available to facilitate a discussion on how the event went, and point out places where teams communicated well — and not so well.
“None of us had done any sort of event like this before. I think all of us were hooked after solving our first puzzle. We were cheering and high-fiving like little kids. The puzzles were smart, creative and fun in a way that made us feel smart, creative and clever.”

Values
I build my games to cultivate:
- Teamwork. Success requires combining different strengths. Some teammates might excel at codes while others spot visual patterns or are skilled at organizing information.
- Communication. Open communication helps teams uncover patterns and connections that might seem impossible at first glance.
- Leadership. A designated leader who can oversee the big picture and coordinate the team's efforts is often the difference between success and struggle.
- Pattern recognition. Behind every puzzle lies a clever pattern that, once spotted, transforms seemingly random elements into clear solutions.
“I attended my first Mystery League event and it was so much fun - challenging, detailed, the story and puzzles were engaging. I'm new to town and it was a great way to meet new people, loved the atmosphere. Everyone was super friendly and the time flew by too fast.”
