The Digital Murder Mystery Co. Team
The Founders
With a serious passion for immersive experiences, founders Charlotte Ricard-Quesada and Christina Rhodes came together to create the ultimate online party: a luxurious digital murder mystery.
After connecting at London’s Engage! Summit in 2019, their business partnership came about in the unlikeliest way possible: as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the devastation wreaked on the events industry, Charlotte and Christina reconnected and began discussing alternative ways for events and immersive experiences to continue, particularly at a time when people around the globe were struggling with lockdowns and isolation from their loved ones.
As a way to provide premium entertainment and a much-needed solution for people to stay connected to one another during this time, The Digital Murder Mystery Co. was born.
Since its creation, The Digital Murder Mystery Co. has brought joy to thousands of people on different continents and endeavours to keep doing so for many years to come.

Charlotte Ricard-Quesada is the Founder and Creative Director of luxury event planning company, La Fête, as well as a doting mummy, enthusiastic podcaster and wife.
She originally worked in the luxury fashion industry for ten years alongside the likes of Dior and Tom Ford. The opportunity to learn from such talented and imaginative minds on a daily basis was thrilling for Charlotte.
Over the years, she developed her own creative flair, eventually deciding to follow her gut and start her own events company in 2016. Since then, her passion for planning events has only grown.
Creating memories is what Charlotte’s best at and can bring any vision to life, big or small.
