What Cluedunnit Team does
Cluedunnit Team is an Australian privately-held murder mystery dinner theatre company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. The company delivers live-action interactive murder mystery experiences where professional actors perform alongside — and sometimes among — guests who take on the roles of suspects and detectives during a multi-course dinner event. Its core product, the CLUEDUNNIT Classic, deploys six or seven professional actors per event. Additional offerings include Private Party Hosted events (corporate team building, weddings, birthdays), downloadable self-run game kits, river cruise experiences via a partnership with Rhapsody Cruises on the Swan River, and customizable gift vouchers.
The company generates revenue through four streams: public event ticket sales (AUD $150-$170 per person inclusive of a three-course dinner and three-hour experience), private hosted event packages (AUD $1,995 to AUD $2,995 depending on group size), one-time downloadable game licenses (AUD $215 to AUD $325 by player count), and gift vouchers. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer booking through cluedunnit.com.au with third-party ticketing platforms including Humanitix, Arts Culture Trust WA, Eventbrite, and OzTix. Events are hosted at premium partner venues such as His Majesty's Theatre, Novotel Perth Langley, Stamford Plaza Hotels, and aboard the River Bells cruise ship.
The business serves a dual customer base: enterprise corporate clients including RSM, Deloitte, Chevron, BHP, Rio Tinto, Ernst and Young, and Australia Post for team building; and consumers/private hosts for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and DIY downloadable events. Cluedunnit operates across six Australian metropolitan markets — Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Hobart — and has hosted signature events on the Indian Pacific, the Orient Express, and at Burgh Island Hotel. The company maintains a network of over 50 contracted actors, presenters, and improvisers nationally, while core operational headcount sits at approximately five employees. Underlying technology is live performance rather than software, with no disclosed APIs, applications, or digital platform.
