Here are all of the upcoming murder mystery events around Philadelphia. I included the public shows I've seen coming up, including several from the biggest organizers. As usual, I'm including any unadvertised fees I've seen with the prices.
Contact the event organizers if you have any questions. I'm not affiliated with any of the big murder mystery event companies, and I am only including what I found from my own experience or research. If you are running a murder mystery event (or larp events around Philadelphia), let me know. I review each of these myself before adding them to the calendar.

To submit an event, I need to know the name of the show and a bunch of other details. The survey will ask for the location, cost, and who is organizing it. Please provide all the details you can. I'll review and add submissions as they come in. Note that it may take some time, as I'm adding these manually.
