Murder mystery companies run interactive evenings where guests play characters and try to solve a crime, often over dinner at a hotel or restaurant, at private parties or as team days for businesses. Public nights are sold as tickets, while private events are booked with a deposit and the rest paid before the day, often split between many guests. A payments app that sells tickets, takes deposits and lets each guest pay their own share can win murder mystery organisers, and every guest who pays sees your app.

Sell tickets and take deposits

A payment link for each public night sells tickets from a phone, and a deposit link for private events secures the date before scripts and actors are booked.

Let each guest pay their share

The organiser of a party or team day can pay the deposit and send each guest a link for their share, so nobody has to chase friends or colleagues for money.

Grow through venues and event businesses

Murder mystery companies work with hotels, restaurants and event hosts. When those businesses take payments through your app, each organiser can bring more of them onto it.
