Room Escape Artist

“I wanted to play with the idea of a White Lotus vibe, but more culty.”

Neil Patrick Harris joins us on the Spoilers Club to talk all about his Murder Mystery weekends in collaboration with Capital One and Chris Waters of Constructed Adventures. In their first installment, they took guests to Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, a luxury wellness resort, for a weekend of gourmet dinners, spa treatments, and murder… In Spoilers Club E54, Chris Waters talks to us about working on the first murder mystery, how it worked, and some of the lessons learned.

In E55, Neil joins Chris on the Spoilers Club to talk about the second installment. This time, they opted for tropical vibes, heading out to Little Palm Island, a private island resort in the Florida Keys.

Guests arrive by boat, where they’re greeted by Neil, along with several acolytes. They’re dressed in loose fitting, off-white outfits and welcome the guests with a strange hand gesture. It’s a luxury wellness retreat, and absolutely, definitely, not a cult where someone is about to get murdered… or is it?

Neil and Chris take us through this exclusive adventure, discussing how it came together, and the design strategy behind this production. They also share some hilarious behind the scene stories about how Neil decided to inject a little more drama by causing an unplanned ruckus. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so feel free to listen and live vicariously through our Spoilers Club.

There is no preview for this one. The only way to listen is to subscribe to the Spoilers Club tier of our Patreon.
