Created through Mystery Theatre Unlimited
For more than thirty years, Mystery Theatre Unlimited has created interactive mysteries that combine carefully constructed stories, fair-play clues, and genuine audience participation. These plays and collections offer several doors into that three-decade repertoire, all built on one theatrical belief:
The audience doesn’t interrupt the story.
They complete it.

Seventeen cases—and counting.

Behind these featured cases is more than three decades of work: 52 mysteries co-written for Mystery Theatre Unlimited and six published mysteries written by Butch Maxwell.
