What makes Folklore Perth's
best team building events?
Expert Facilitators Navigating High Stakes Communication
Our expert storytellers guide your group through one of our satisfyingly complex social deduction game systems that completely immerse players in a world of high stakes communication and conversational tight rope walking.
Beyond Traditional Team Building Exercises
Leave the trust falls and "getting to know you" ice breakers at home.
Traditional team building can feel patronising, contrived, dumbed down, and out of touch. That's why our approach is modern, fresh, challenging, and actually helps cultivate psychological safety at work.
Genuine Entertainment Value
Treat your team to a team building event that is genuinely entertaining. Our clients call them everything from "well-organised, engaging, and full of intriguing twists" to "unpredictable, thrilling" and even "one of the best experiences of your lives."
Social Deduction Games: Popular & Effective Team Building
If you've been tasked with organising high quality team building events, you're probably familiar with the dreaded "team building groan". Folklore Murder Mysteries tap into the popularity of social deduction games like "Among Us" and TV shows like "The Traitors" to create a team building activity that teams actually get excited about.
Combining Team Bonding, Soft Skills, & Critical Thinking
Our murder mystery games have proven time and time again that they're strategically engaging, great for developing valuable soft skills, and help level status hierarchies - allowing colleagues to form meaningful bonds through a unique, shared experience.
Multiple Murder Mystery Games To Choose From
Our games oscillate between an eyes closed phase and an eyes open phase. During the 'eyes closed' phase, players are woken individually to use abilities that help their team.
During the 'eyes open' phase, players discuss what they've learnt, share details about their hidden identities, and try to determine who can be trusted. Learn more here
Monster Hunt
Our flagship social deduction game is the ultimate test of strategic collaboration. Players are encouraged to look before they leap in a game system that rewards skill and finesse over simple, brute force. Monster Hunt is a medieval, fantasy setting filled with characters designed to foil players that rush in.

The logistics of team building with folklore
An activity designed to scale in mid sized groups
Our events are designed to scale in groups for 10-15 participants. This intimate group size allows us to keep engagement high, ensure everyone has an important role, and provide a unique environment for bonding between coworkers.
Allow approximately three hours for the event
The experience itself consists of 2 x 75 minute games. With our pre game briefing, a half time break, and our all important storyteller re-caps, games run approximately 180 minutes. If you're hiring a venue, a three hour minimum booking is essential.
Enough space to sit comfortably in a circle
Folklore requires enough space for every player to sit comfortably in a circle with nothing in the middle. If multiple groups are playing games concurrently it's recommended they have some separation to minimise competing sound.
Reading aids may be required for reference sheets
Both games involve reading from a reference sheet, so reading aids are encouraged as required. In terms of prep, everything players need to know can be taught on the day.
