The Séance Collection

Interactive. Unpredictable. Impossible to fully explain.

It starts as entertainment. It doesn’t stay that way

Most parties start the same way.

People gather. Conversations stay small.
And before long, guests drift back to their phones.

But it doesn’t have to go that way.


At Solve the Mystery, each experience is designed to pull your guests in—and keep them there.

This isn’t background entertainment.
It’s something that unfolds around them.

Conversations shift.
Reactions become real.
And at some point, everyone realizes… they’re part of it.

Your Event Host...

With over 25 years of experience, performances in 39 states, and thousands of private events, Solve the Mystery’s host Cris Johnson has created unforgettable experiences for audiences across the country.

Here’s what one client said:

“Cris was absolutely wonderful! Being one of the “hosts” of the party, it is always nerve wracking to be the one in charge of picking the entertainment for an event. Cris was fantastic! I have heard nothing but positive reviews from everyone. People are saying it has been the best entertainment we have had for our yearly event. I would highly recommend Cris to anyone who is looking for something different, entertaining and fun. Cris recommended his Murder by Magic show given the info I gave to him and it was a hit!”

Signature Séance Experiences

A quiet town. A lingering presence. A story that refuses to stay buried.

What begins as a simple attempt to make contact slowly reveals something deeper—and far more unsettling.

A connection to one of history’s most haunting tragedies.

As the evening unfolds, details emerge that blur the line between past and present… leaving guests questioning how much of that night is truly gone.

A darker, more theatrical experience.

Guests are drawn into a secretive world of investigation, suspicion, and hidden identities—where not everyone in the room can be trusted.

Why This Works

Left on their own, guests tend to stay in their comfort zones.

This changes that.

Every experience is designed to:

  • Get people talking
  • Break down barriers
  • Create shared moments your guests actually remember

No awkward silences. No passive watching.

Everyone is part of the night.

What Clients Say...

Our Guarantee:

If your guests don’t enjoy the experience, you don’t pay.

It’s that simple.

And in all those years, no one has ever needed to use it.
