Hotel: Murder Mystery in brief
A death in a grand Paris hotel in 1920, and you’re the ones being blamed. Hotel: Murder Mystery is a 60-minute whodunit game at Escape This Perth CBD: your party rides the lift up to the victim’s suite, studies the evidence, tests each suspect’s story and names the real killer before the gendarmes arrive.
A bit of both. Hotel: Murder Mystery runs like an escape room: your party alone in a built set, a 60-minute clock, locks and puzzles, and a gamesmaster on hand with hints. The difference is the goal. You win by solving a whodunit and naming the killer, not just by reaching the last door.
