About the Author

Jack Pachuta is a mysterious guy. Since a dark and stormy night in 1982, he has authored and facilitated murder mystery events for clients across the United States and Canada. Plus, he sells his complete murder mystery party kits around the world via his websites. In his alter-ego as a speaker, trainer and consultant, he partners his mysteries with unique learning experiences that focus on team building, communications, negotiations and sales. These mystery seminars convey key skills in non-threatening, fun-filled programs. Holding masters degrees from the University of Southern California and Michigan State University, Jack's client base includes Jockey International, Pepsico, ShopKo Stores, the Asia-Pacific Institute for Management Development in Singapore, Thomson Audio Products Hong Kong, Connex of Romania, Multi-Finance of Athens, Greece - and many, many more. An inveterate games player, Jack enjoys the challenge of solving puzzles and weaving together facts and details into memorable, entertaining experiences. He regularly conducts mystery writing boot camps during which he shares his unique insights about developing and facilitating murder mystery parties. Jack met his English wife, Renira, over breakfast in Portugal while they were both living in Germany. They now have two daughters, a cat named Zoe and a house bordering a Christmas tree farm near Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin where Jack maintains his subterranean world headquarters. (Some people call it his basement office.) Jack is also an award-winning printmaker and a member of both the Cedarburg Artists Guild and the League of Milwaukee Artists.
