How it Works
crimes don't solve themselves
If you want a bit more information on how to run a murder mystery evening, and what exactly it entails, you’re in the right place.
What is a murder mystery?
How does it work?
During the event, actors will act out the roles of all those who might be suspects and perform scenarios which provide clues to who committed the dastardly deed! They will also move around amongst those present and give everyone a chance to interrogate them. Participants may also receive other clues in the form of photographs, maps, official reports and diagrams.
Does the winner receive a prize?
Yes, we always provide a certificate and a prize. Some of our story lines have more than one opportunity to win!
Do your murder mysteries happen during dinner?
Our clients often serve dinner during the performance, but this can be anything from a five course banquet to fish and chips! We will perform around your tables and work with you or your caterers to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Does the audience need to dress up?
It’s not compulsory but it creates a great atmosphere if you do!
Does the audience have to join in?
We create immersive performances so that you feel part of the action. We will explain which scenes you should watch and when you can question the suspects. If anyone feels more comfortable with just watching then that’s absolutely fine.
Does the audience stay seated?
Yes, audiences usually remain seated throughout the evening. We recommend cabaret style seating, but we can work with any space. If you would prefer a promenade evening which explores your venue, then let’s have that discussion!
