Five-Star Care. First-Degree Murder.

Heavenly Hospitals is a hospital murder mystery game set inside the world’s most outrageously luxurious medical franchise — and one of the most hilarious murder mystery team building games in our collection.

The elderly Dr Andy Archibald, CEO of Heavenly Hospitals, has invited guests to a long-awaited dinner to announce his successor.

The tone is set from the moment the invitation lands: attendance is compulsory, late arrivals should submit their letter of resignation, and anyone arriving too early will be eligible for a disciplinary hearing.

The Heavenly Hospitals franchise is no ordinary medical institution — famed for its A-list celebrity patients, private butlers for every medical suite, and five-star comforts that make a hospital stay feel more like a boutique hotel experience.

The stars of the medical world are present, alongside the uber wealthy and charmingly eccentric — and every single one of them has a secret. Then someone ensures Dr Archibald never gets to make his announcement.

“I thoroughly enjoyed attending the 5-Star Hospital murder mystery dinner! I loved playing my character, adored every moment – an excellent team building exercise. It was a fun evening indeed.”

– Brigitte Niland

With the succession suddenly up for grabs and a room full of people who each had something to gain from the CEO’s untimely departure, the dinner table becomes a battleground of damning revelations and barely concealed motives.

Secrets spill out one by one, setting a cat or two amongst the pigeons and leaving guests to question everything they thought they knew about the world of luxury healthcare.

Prepare for big laughs. This is not a passive experience. Every guest arrives as a character with a backstory, a secret, and a very good reason to have wanted Dr Archibald out of the picture — and the interrogations begin the moment the murder is discovered.

Each player must reveal their insider secrets at the dinner table, and the only rule is that you cannot lie about your secret once directly confronted. Otherwise, improvise freely — the more outrageously your guests commit to their characters, the more gloriously chaotic the evening becomes.

The game caters for 17 guests (12 female characters and 5 male characters) of varying ages — making it an ideal choice for female-dominated groups and corporate teams looking for an unforgettable evening with a very dark twist.

The fully designed printable kit includes everything you need to host a seamless evening:

• an Invitation — complete with its own entertainingly tyrannical attendance policy
• Character Sheets
• double-sided Clue Cards
• Name Tags
• Place Cards
• the Host’s Timeline to keep the evening on track
• and a How-to Guide formatted for the host to send directly to guests before the night.

Murder Mystery Guide games are conceived and designed in Cape Town, and played everywhere — from living rooms to luxury venues across South Africa, the UK, and beyond. Every game in our collection is an original production: fully designed, largely improvised, and built for real people, not trained actors. No scripts to memorise, no experience required — just great company and a willingness to have fun.

Whether you’re planning a corporate team build, a milestone birthday, or a private dinner with a deliciously absurd twist, we give every guest a role, a secret, and a reason to stay at the table.
