Blue Drum Events leads the way in offering Histotainment and Edutainment to corporate groups in Estonia. Let your incentive winners, conference delegates or company staff enjoy tons of fun and laughs, while immersing themselves in legendary tales of Estonian history and culture.

Before sharing one of their most popular histotainment team building programs, Olavi Andla, the CEO of Blue Drum Events, explains what it’s all about:

“Histotainment combines history and entertainment to create engaging storytelling. It uses live performances, interactive exhibits, and audience participation to present historical facts and stories in an entertaining way.

“On the other hand, edutainment blends education and entertainment by incorporating various mediums such as live actors, video games, interactive exhibits, and digital elements like mobile apps and tablets to make learning enjoyable and informative.”

Now for one of our most popular histotainment programs: Who killed our Burgomaster?

This 2-3 hour activity is a fusion of medieval histotainment, offering a theatrical sightseeing experience in the old town.

Embark on a medieval detective adventure as we gather to unravel the mystery surrounding the Honorable Burgomaster Schötelmund’s demise. Equipped with magic boxes, hints and clues, you will journey to local venues in the capital city Tallinn, where evidence of the murder awaits. Exercise caution as the killer might cross your path. Amidst cobblestone walks in the old city, encounter suspicious characters like Monk Antonius, Market Mole Sophie, Merchant Hans, the eccentric pharmacist, the infamous executioner Bloody Hand, and the elusive prostitute Lily.

Interrogate them all as you engage in various activities, from assembling wooden puzzles to shooting a parrot with a crossbow, making herbal tea, building towers, and more! Conclude the experience by solving a crossword puzzle and crafting your version of the killer’s identity at a medieval restaurant where you can end the experience with lunch or dinner. The winners reward? A chest of gold or local delicacies awaits the successful detectives, while losers face imprisonment and a Vana Tallinn (local rum-based liqueur with flavors of citrus, cinnamon and vanilla).

The local team at Blue Drum Events offers full DMC planning services for incentive groups, corporate meetings and team building activities in Tallinn and throughout Estonia.
