Mystery Race: A Deadly Game of Whodunit
The call comes in at dawn – a body discovered in the heart of the city. As lead investigators, your team must unravel a web of lies, track down elusive witnesses, and piece together the events of one fateful night. This isn’t just another detective story – this is Mystery Race, where every conversation could reveal a crucial clue, and everyone has something to hide.
Feel the tension build as you interview your first witness, their story leading you through city streets where suspects lurk and evidence waits to be discovered. Our professional actors bring each character to life, from the nervous barista who saw something suspicious to the smooth-talking businessman with the perfect alibi. But remember – in this game of deception, even the most innocent-seeming witness might be hiding deadly secrets.
What makes Mystery Race unique?
It’s the perfect blend of classic murder mystery and urban adventure. One moment you’re analyzing cryptic evidence, the next you’re pursuing a fleeing suspect through city alleyways. Your team must work together, combining detective skills with street smarts to crack the case before the killer strikes again.
The Investigation Begins:
Every Mystery Race starts with the crime scene briefing. Our team works with you to understand your group’s dynamics and customize the perfect murder mystery. Whether you’re a small detective unit or a large-scale investigation team, we adjust the complexity and number of suspects to create the perfect level of challenge.
On investigation day, your team assembles at the initial crime scene. After a briefing on the victim and the circumstances, you’re equipped with everything needed for the investigation – case files, evidence bags, and investigation tools. Then, you’re thrust into a race against time to solve the crime.
Throughout your investigation, you’ll:
- Interview key witnesses and suspects
- Collect and analyze crucial evidence
- Uncover hidden motives and alibis
- Follow leads across the city
- Build your case against the killer
But here’s where it gets intriguing – while you’re questioning suspects, they’re also gauging your progress. Every conversation reveals new layers of complexity, every piece of evidence could be a red herring, and every team member’s intuition will be tested. The city becomes your crime scene, and ordinary locations transform into key pieces of the puzzle.
The Final Accusation:
As the evidence mounts and theories emerge, teams must compile their findings to identify the killer. Success requires more than just good guesswork – it demands careful analysis, attention to detail, and the ability to see through lies. Will your team catch the killer, or will they slip through your fingers?
Make It Your Case:
Every Mystery Race is meticulously crafted to challenge and engage. Want to incorporate company-specific clues? Looking to add historical elements? Need to adjust the walking distance? Our mystery makers work with you to create the perfect scenario. Cases can run from two hours to a full day of investigation.

Have questions?
Send us an enquiry or browse our Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s) below:
How many people can participate?
All of our events are flexible and can scale up or down as needed. At the top of each event page, there is a participants number guide, however the short answer is as many as you like!
The minimum is 2 people, however, realistically most events work best with at least 2 teams of 3. There is no maximum! If you have 4000 people, we can design and host an Amazing Race, Survivor, Online event or something custom for you!
How long does an event take?
Our events are flexible however, some have a minimum amount of time to get the most fun from the experience. At the top of each event page there is a time guide.
As an example, a standard Amazing Race takes around 2.5 hours including the briefing at the beginning and the presentation at the end of the event. However, as with everything we do, we can customise it. A race needs to have at least 1.5 hours as a minimum but there is no maximum. A race can be made to last several days and include hotel stays over night if needed.
How fit do I have to be?
Different events have different activity levels and therefore fitness requirements. Part of the initial discovery session is to discuss your team and the physical levels of your group.
As an example, in order to participate in a standard Amazing Race, we would expect each racer be comfortable walking around 3 kms in comfortable shoes. The physical challenges on the checkpoints are not particularly physically difficult and can be adapted for most abilities.
We can customise the races to be very physical and cover much larger distances, suitable for gyms or miltary, or make them much more suitable for a lower fitness level, including wheelchairs.
Where can the event take place?
Pretty much anywhere! Fun Team Building have the ability to plan and host events all around Australia at anytime. We can also plan and host internationally with a little more lead time! Let’s have a chat and discuss your requirements!
What happens in the case of bad weather?
The weather is one of the few things we can’t control! We will start to look at the weather forecast a week a so before your event. In the event that the forecast is showing weather where an event would not be fun, someone from our team will give you a call to discuss options.
The options are: 1: Go ahead anyway! We don’t mind getting wet so if the forecast is for rain, we can still go ahead if you want. 2: Postpone to another date. There is no penalty in this as long as the decision is made at least 24 hours before. 3: We can pivot the event and turn an outdoor event into an indoor mixed event. An indoor rain event would normally include a lot of the same challenges and tasks as the event you were planning, but inside! We can also set up a game show, trivia or other indoor option.
How do I book?
On each event page there is a “Get a Quote” form. Simply complete this form on the event page and our team will get back to you with a quote quickly. Simply reply to the quote email with an acceptance and we will generate a 30% deposit invoice, locking in your chosen date and time.
Alternatively email our team at ask@funteambuilding.com.au or call and we can simply have a chat about what you have in mind!
What is your cancellation policy?
An event can be cancelled at any point up until 48 hours before the scheduled start time. While the deposit is non-refundable at any time, it can be held as a credit for a future event. Likewise the rest of the payment can be held for future bookings, however, if you need to cancel, the payment, minus the deposit, can be refunded in full up until 48 hours before the event, or after that time, refunded minus any travel costs incurred. After 24 hours prior to an event, staff fees will be deducted from the refunded amount in addition.
Are you insured?
