A mystery for Orlando kids, no ticket gate

Orlando has plenty of adventures behind a ticket gate. Ours knocks on your door. Big Idea Mystery Lab turns your living room, clubhouse or community room into a detective's office: a case file on the table, codes to crack, suspects to rule out and a reveal the whole room calls together.

Our Orlando team covers Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake counties, from Winter Park and Lake Mary to Kissimmee, Sanford, Clermont and Winter Garden. It runs indoors when the afternoon storms roll in: all we need is power and room to set up.
