We’re shocked, aghast, outraged…at who did it?….No, at the fact that almost all property managers focus only on big bang resident events that can accommodate a lot of residents. It’s understandable why you’d do this. After all, if you are going to spend money, why not do resident events that as many residents as possible can attend? While those types of resident events are usually the way to go, we recommend mixing more intimate events like a murder mystery resident event that only accommodate a few residents.
Why do a resident event that only a few residents can attend?
Easy…these types of events are more intimate and engaging, thus allowing residents to really interact and get to know each other. Plus think about it, when you attend an event with 100 people, how engaged are you? And just how many people do you actually talk to?
Flamingo recently did such an event with Station R Apartments and it was an absolute hit even though it was just for 8 residents.
So just how can you do a Murder Mystery Resident Event?

A group of 8 to 12 residents are blackmailed and invited to a mansion by a mysterious person named “R.I.P.” It’s a multimedia experience with videos, crime scene photographs, interrogation break out rooms. The best part of this is that this resident event can be done multiple times in different themes – New Year’s Event, Harry Potter, Clue! etc
