Mystery Parties

An Interactive Mystery Experience for Preteens

Team challenges, clues, and games—fully hosted from start to finish.


Wandering Drama Mystery Parties are interactive experiences for preteens where guests work together to solve a mystery through team challenges, clues, games, and immersive theatre. Led by a fully in-character host, participants collaborate, think creatively, and engage in the adventure in a fun, guided way.

Each experience is thoughtfully personalized to the group, taking into account ages, interests, and energy level. No two mystery experiences are exactly alike. The experience is fully facilitated from start to finish, allowing parents and hosts to relax while the group works together to crack the case in an engaging, age-appropriate way.

You Bring the Guests. I Bring the Mystery.

From the moment the mystery begins, I stay in character and guide the group through the entire experience—introducing the story, leading challenges, revealing clues, keeping the action moving, and helping everyone stay involved.

Each mystery is designed around teamwork and participation, so kids aren’t sitting on the sidelines waiting for their turn. Everyone becomes part of solving the case.

Best of all? You get to enjoy the event while I run the mystery from start to finish.
