Corporate Holiday Murder Mystery Parties
Hosted by Lux Events —
Where the Holidays Meet a Little Mayhem!
Tired of the same ol' company party?
This year, give your team something unexpectedly unforgettable.
Lux Events brings the thrill, laughter, and suspense of a live Murder Mystery Holiday Party straight to your corporate celebration — anywhere in Newport News and the surrounding Hampton Roads area.
You choose the theme. We handle the story, hosting, and setup.
Your guests become the suspects, detectives, and stars of the show!
Choose Your Mystery Adventure:
🎅Option 1: Crime at Christmastime
“A Holiday Bash You’ll Never Forget.”
Nothing will stop Regina Baxter from hosting her annual Baxter Holiday Bash — not even a cold case that’s suddenly hot again!
With Newport News’ elite home for the holidays and a scandal brewing beneath the tinsel, the night takes a deadly turn when one guest drops dead.
Was it the power couple playing one last card before trial?
The socialite with secrets to keep?
Or the rising entrepreneur facing financial ruin?
Expect gossip, glamour, and a little Christmas chaos!
🎅 Option 2: Ho Ho Homicide
“A Night of North Pole Naughtiness.”
Santa’s workshop isn’t so merry this year. Productivity is low, tempers are high, and one of the North Pole crew is taking “naughty” to a new level.
Was it the ambitious elf, the secretive reindeer, or Mrs. Claus herself?
You’ll mingle, investigate, and expose the killer — before the cookies crumble!
Expect festive fun, quirky characters, and plenty of ho-ho-whodunit!
