We all know that an East Coast Murder Mystery is always a fun party, but it’s so much more than that. Our clients throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC can vouch for us when we say that our murder mystery parties are also good for the brain.

Here are four ways that murder mystery parties sharpen the mind:

  1. Clues everywhere: The most obvious way that a murder mystery party helps people’s brain is through the clues. Throughout the event, participants are trying to figure out ‘whodunit’ through clues, and solving complex ciphers. It’s great to see how different people interpret different information.
  2. Reading people: When people work to figure out the mystery, they learn to read people and pick up on those silent cues that most people don’t know they’re giving off. Frankly, we think this is a skill that is quickly being lost since so many of us live behind screens.
  3. Creative thinking: We can only talk about our murder mysteries, but our mysteries aren’t cut and dry. We want people to think creatively and use their imagination. The answers our partygoers are looking for aren’t available online, so they have to really look at what’s happening and think creatively to find them.
  4. The stories themselves: Murder mystery stories tend to transport you to another era. There’s always something to learn about the era, how people lived, what they wore, how they talked, and more. The stories themselves can give guests more knowledge that will always come in handy down the line.

With many of us having been hunkered down most of this year, any occasion – even ‘just because’ – is a great reason to sharpen your mind with an East Coast Murder Mystery Party! Check out our website and book a party today.
