Frequently asked questions

How does the "your employees are the suspects" part work?
We collect photos and a bit of story framing in advance, then build the mystery around five people from your team. They become the suspects teams chase through clues, challenges, and reveals during the event.
Is this game indoor or outdoor?
Usually it works best in walkable zones around your venue, but the exact footprint depends on your site. We can also adapt the structure for indoor or mixed indoor-outdoor environments when that fits the event better.
How long does it run?
The full version is about two hours. We can also scope shorter versions for tighter conference schedules while keeping the mystery structure intact.
Can we customize more than just the five suspects?
Yes. The suspect casting is the core layer, but we can also tailor the kickoff, clue framing, visuals, finale moments, and challenge tone so the whole experience feels tied to your people and event story.
How is this different from Great Scott!?
Great Scott! is a ready-to-run nostalgia game with a fixed theme. Who Kidnapped Your Boss!? is more custom and story-led, built around your own people as the cast. If you want a sharper bespoke feel, WKYB is the stronger fit.
