We provide Cambridge Solution murder mystery dinners throughout the Persian Gulf region of the Arabian Peninsula as a way to entertain private parties, banquets and corporate events in a more interactive setting. Participants get directly involved as characters in the show! It's easy and fun to play and our professional hosts help to get them to be the stars of the show and develop and build better teams!
While we have pre-set scenarios, there is always a little customization. We go back and forth to settle on the scenario and characters. Once settled, you can share that information with the people who will play those characters. Remember, they have a chance to win as the best actor!
Our host, who is a Director, meets with the people playing the characters just beforehand. The host makes them comfortable and provides them with techniques on how to have fun and try to win. The last information is provided and they are made comfortable.
The host comes in and announces that there has been a crime. The scenario is read and the characters are given a dramatic introduction. Our host provides a written version of the scenario to each team and the characters go table to table, usually, answering questions about the crime. They rotate through the tables, with one per table, until they've spoken to them all. They then answer some questions that were pre-written in front of the audience and might have a speed round to go around the tables again.
The audience writes down who they think committed the crime and vote for the best actor. The team closest to the truth wins little prizes that we provide. They're good enough for people to want, but small enough that people won't be too upset if they didn't win.
THEFT VS. MURDERWe give you the options of having a mystery with either a theft or a murder. Honestly, it does not impact the structure that greatly. In the Arabian Peninsula, however, the stigma surrounding either can be an issue. We play either very loosely and it is quite clear that no one has actually been killed or stolen from. The idea of the show is to allow people to enjoy an evening of problem solving while not taking away from the fact that both acts are reprehensible. All of our events end with the guilty chastised and moral law prevails. It is a morality play more than anything with humor as well. Feel free to ask us if there are any concerns whatsoever.

THE DARTMOUTH PLANThe Cambridge Solution is named because we thought it was Harvard-smart when we came up with it. For smaller groups, under 30 people, we have The Dartmouth Plan. Named for the smallest of the Ivy League schools, everyone is a character in more of a mix-and-mingle game designed as an icebreaker. People quickly get more comfortable with everyone to enhance the success of your event.
THE PRINCETON PERMUTATIONNamed for another Ivy League School, the Princeton Permutation is designed for larger groups where going table to table isn't practical. Usually for 100 or more audience members, this event has the audience suspects delivering speeches with a comedic approach. The first speech explains why they are upset at an offstage character. The second speech, delivered after the murder is announced, is about how much they miss the victim and how they suspect one of the other characters for having committed the crime. Likely, time would be allowed for audience members to ask the suspects questions around the room before coming up with a solution by table.
THE CORNELL CONUNDRUMNamed for another Ivy League school, the Cornell Conundrum is designed for groups to be able to operate separately. No one plays the characters. Your people are in the prosecutor's office and each time chooses the dossier of the suspect that they would like to prosecute. Each team chooses a different suspect and makes their case to the District Attorney, played by our comedic host, as to who should be prosecuted. They can make their presentation in any format that they like including a court case, a music video, an infomercial, a haiku, or anything else. All members of the team must participate in the presentation. This is an event that can easily allow for social distancing or video presentations.
THE PROVIDENCE ADDENDUMThis is an add-on to our standard Cambridge Solution event named for the location of Brown University. This involves the creation of additional generic characters for each person at the table. These characters are repeated at tables around the room and each character is provided with some specific information about one or two of the suspects with whom they will be speaking. The characters might be doctors, cab drivers, attorneys, psychologists, etc. and it is a great way to allow everyone to participate while limiting the lack of information should they choose not to play.
When a millionaire gets into the business of wine-making, some people won't be happy. There are competitors, neighbors, politicians and ex-spouses, all of whom could have reasons to be stressed by the millionaire's success.

A millionaire from the city wanted a place to get away from it all and bought a nice ranch. He decided to throw a hoe-down and invited people from both of his worlds.

It appears time to apply some frontier justice!

WHY MYSTERIES Certainly the region hasn't had a lot of shows involving crime. We will discuss any concerns that you may have and help to put them to rest. The topics are meant to be in-line with cultural norms and we would take no actions to endanger our clients or their guests. Though the topic may seem strange, that of a death caused by a character, it is all about collaborating to determine the culprit and to see to it that justice is served. It is a quick morality play where truth and justice win the day!

WE SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE! While our initial conversations will likely be in English, we have the capacity for shows that are bilingual or in specific other languages. Whether in Arab, German, Italian, Chinese, Russian, or any other language, ask us how we might be able to serve your group entertainment needs. Customizing a script for a Cambridge Solution into another language will cost extra, of course.

WE COME TO YOU! We do not have our own venues. We come to any restaurant, hotel, resort, cruise ship, club, or home. We can work with groups of any size in whatever location you want. The specific location may impact the cost and availability. We will discuss this with you.

The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. Is it more than just entertainment? If you are looking to show appreciation to clients or employees, for example, then we would take one approach. If it is family and friends, we might approach it differently. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.
We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used, which can let us determine cost issues as well as legal hurdles that might be required. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options for the performance and have a better feel for the resources required. Knowing who might attend can impact language and content.
Let us be honest. Operating in the Persian Gulf region, along with the rest of the Arabian Peninsula, is not inexpensive. In fact, it can be quite costly. If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to try to operate at the lowest cost possible and not provide options to achieve the results that will exceed your requirements and expectations.
