be-spoke /be'spōk/ adj. British: custom-made for a particular customer or user, made-to-order, tailor-made, tailored

Who we are:  That Murder Mystery Girl was formed from a passion for creative entertainment and grew to encompass the greater Piedmont area. We create murder mysteries based on your group needs.  We've been solving Murder Mysteries for 26 years.

What makes us different:  Our characters are based on real-life historical figures and their stories.  Your guests personalities will shine through in their historical character.  

Why we do it: Fun! Fun! Fun!  Who doesn't like to dress up, be someone else, and escape from reality?  

How it works: You choose your theme from a selection of available plots, and we tailor it to your guest list.  Each guest receives an individual character dossier ahead of the mystery so they have the opportunity to study their character and choose their costume.  Guests arrive in character at the event and interact with other guests, sharing information about themselves and collecting information.  Vignettes will be acted during the evening by attendees that increase the drama and the fun. Sometime in the event, there will be a murder.  Guests will then use the information they have gathered to solve the murder and make an accusation.  There are no professional actors.   You may be the murderer.-YOU may be the victim.

Watch your back.  Because...

MURDER IS IN THE AIR!


Choose your mystery or let us create one just for you!

Murder at the Masquerade

The year is 1790, and the fabulous diamond necklace that Louis the XV of France commissioned for his mistress Madame du Barry has gone missing. France is in turmoil. Heads have rolled. But the ton in England will still have their season. Guests will attend a Regency era masquerade ball where every masquerader seems to be hiding something. Cardinals and Marchioness's will mingle with emigres' fleeing the Revolution and actresses. One of them has something to hide and a reason to kill to protect their identity.

Murder Aboard the Titanic

It is April 1912. The elite and wealthy are gathered for a launch party of RMS Titanic. Some passengers on the Titanic’s maiden voyage should give them pause. Edith Rosenbaum had recently been warned by a fortune teller that there was disaster in her future. Nurse Jessop was given the moniker “The Queen of Sinking Ships” and “Miss Unsinkable”. Violet survived both the sinking of the Titanic, her sister ship the Britannic, and the collision of the Olympic. First Mate Murdoch came from a seafaring family plagued with the “April Curse”. Three of his family members died on ships during the month of April. April Fortune, was warned "You are in danger every time you travel on the sea, for I see you adrift in an open boat. You will lose everything but your life." Death is in the air, but so is MURDER.

Staying Alive: The Night Disco Died

It's the summer of 1979 and as the seventies decade draws to its close, the Disco age enters her twilight as well. Local radio personalities have a great idea- throw a Disco Demolition. Everyone who brings a record to add to the demolition will receive a discount to the event. But there is more than demolition in the air. Death is spinning a deadly tune on the turntable and YOU may be the victim.

Murder at the Museum

Welcome to 300 years of North Carolina history and mystery.

Timelines have been erased and someone from the past has a reason to kill in the present.

Sour Grapes: Murder at the Vineyard

Celebrate the end of Prohibition and the alliance of the east and west coasts' most powerful wine families at a grand gala. Atlantic City crime boss Nucky Johnson and North Carolina’s powerful Senator Furnifold Simmons clash over rights to sell alcohol in the state, while accusations of corruption and vice flow as deep and red as the wine at Vineyards. While Prohibition left profits withering on the vine, the new harvest promises a fruitful yield. Money is intoxicating, and when you mix money with wine the results can be deadly.

New Orleans is in the ripe and raunchy height of Mardi Gras. A killer is on the loose, and he has published a letter saying that he will kill again at 15 minutes past midnight on Mardi Gras.

And the killer is at the party tonight. Watch your dance card. You may be performing the Dance of Death-your last dance ever.
