Virtual Clue Murder Mystery
Gather your remote team online and collaborate virtually to crack the case of deadly crime in this virtual murder mystery team building activity.
What Is Virtual Clue Murder Mystery
Virtual Clue Murder Mystery is an online team building activity designed specifically for remote teams. Participants can join from anywhere in the world.
Using video conferencing software alongside Outback’s proprietary app, your group will split into teams, examine clues, review case files, and channel their inner detectives as they race against the clock to solve the mystery of who had the means, motive, and opportunity to murder Neil Davidson.
Why Teams Love This Clue Mystery Team Activity
- It hands teams real detective work. Small groups examine physical clues, witness statements, and case files delivered live, piecing together means, motive, and opportunity themselves.
- New evidence keeps the case alive. A live host and evolving storyline surface fresh clues throughout the investigation, so the mystery never goes stale.
- Every theory must earn its place. Teams weigh competing suspects and evidence together, sharpening how they debate and reach agreement before committing to a final accusation.
- The payoff is a dramatic reveal. The true culprit is unmasked at the end, giving teams a genuine sense of resolution and a story worth retelling.
Your team is guaranteed to have a fun time while they tap into their problem-solving skills, think analytically, collaborate closely, and communicate effectively in order to successfully solve the case.
This activity is also available with a remote-hosted option, allowing your group to gather in person while our professional host leads the event virtually via screen. To see how a remote-hosted experience works, check out this short video for more details.

Wrap Up and Recognition

Virtual Clue Murder Mystery Frequently Asked Questions
Virtual team building is hosted live by a professional Outback facilitator over video call, who guides your team through the entire event in real time — no self-hosting or setup required.

Your facilitator leads every challenge, manages timing, and keeps the group engaged from start to finish, making it easy for remote, hybrid, or distributed teams to participate together from anywhere.
Most virtual events run about 1-2 hours, including a short intro and ice-breaker, the main activity, and a wrap-up with recognition for the winning team. Exact timing varies by activity, so check the specific event page for details.
Our virtual events run on Zoom. A live professional host guides your team throughout, and depending on the activity, content may also be delivered through a web app or dedicated event site, with responses submitted from a computer or mobile device.
Breakout room sizes vary by activity and total headcount, but teams are typically grouped into smaller groups so everyone has a chance to participate. Your event planner will confirm the ideal team size for your group.
Yes to both — just let your event planner know as soon as possible so we can adjust team sizes and find a new date that works for your group.
Yes. Hybrid formats work well for our virtual events — in-office employees can join together from a conference room while remote employees log in individually, all on the same call. Some activities also offer a remote-hosted option where an in-person group is led by a host joining virtually.
Pricing depends on group size and the specific activity, so we build a custom quote for every event. Request a quote and an event specialist will follow up with pricing and availability, free and with no obligation.
