– The Creator and Standard-Setter of Fully Automated Mystery Entertainment.
Mystery Enterprises, LLC is the inventor, developer, and operator of the Automated Murder Mystery Game™ format, a proprietary, fully automated, host-free category of interactive entertainment.
Founded by writer and narrative designer Eric Lee, Mystery Enterprises™ introduced the Automated Murder Mystery Game™ format in 2025 and formally standardized it in 2026 through published global and technical standards. These standards define the functional, architectural, and experiential requirements that distinguish the format from all prior hosted, hybrid, or manual murder mystery experiences.
The company designs and operates a proprietary software platform that delivers professional story narration to a shared main display while simultaneously distributing private character information, clues, and real-time voting to individual participant devices. All invitations, pacing, facilitation, and resolution are controlled automatically by software, enabling blind and equitable participation by every player, including the organizer.

Mystery Enterprises™ maintains the authoritative definition, standards documentation, and research record governing the Automated Murder Mystery Game™ format. The format name, standards framework, and associated terminology identify a single commercial source and do not describe a general genre or class of games.
Official documentation includes the 2026 Global Standards Whitepaper, the AMMG Technical Standard, Trademark Attribution & Usage Guidance, and the First Commercial Use Record. Where interpretive questions arise, the 2026 Global Standards govern.

The Automated Murder Mystery Game Format
An Automated Murder Mystery Game is defined as a fully digital, 100% host-free interactive entertainment experience in which:
- A shared main display presents professional narration, cinematic story content, and structured game progression
- Each participant’s personal device delivers private character information, confidential clues, and real-time voting
- All invitations, pacing, ballots, clue releases, and final reveals are controlled automatically by proprietary software
This format was invented, defined, and standardized by Mystery Enterprises and is structurally distinct from boxed games, printable kits, app-assisted experiences, and live-hosted or moderated events.
