About Us
Deanne and Kent Blackhurst

At SolveItQuest, we believe team building should be more than just an icebreaker—it should be an adventure. After years of creating live murder mystery dinners for friends, family, and co-workers, I decided to turn my love of puzzles into something bigger. Now retired from a 20-year career in the software industry, I get to spend my days designing interactive games that are as skill-building as they are fun.
From Case File Mysteries to Locked Backpack Puzzles and Live Murder Mystery Events, our games challenge groups to collaborate, communicate, and think creatively. Whether your team is in the same room or scattered across the globe, we can customize every event to your group and your goals.
This isn’t a “drop it off and wish you luck” kind of service. My husband and I personally host each game, keeping the experience running smoothly from start to finish—and making sure that if we say 90 minutes, it’s exactly 90 minutes.
Our mission is simple: deliver high-quality, fully engaging team-building experiences that leave your group closer, more connected, and ready to tackle challenges together.
