What happens at a Murder Mystery Party ...?

Looking for a private event?


Our smaller-scale "party" events are perfect for groups of up to 20 participants.


Hosted by a professional actor, your event will be a blast as they guide the game and play the role of an "investigator" within the story. You and your guests will take on the roles of the main characters, each with their own unique connection to the victim.


Everyone gets the chance to use their detective skills to solve the mystery—think of it as a live, laugh-out-loud version of "Cluedo".


Before the game begins, assign a character to each player and ensure they receive their full Character Description (included in your pre-event information pack). For new players, we recommend matching characters to age, gender, and personality traits. For experienced players—or those with a flair for acting—mixing up roles (even gender roles) can add an extra layer of fun!

Once you and your guests are ready to play and the characters assigned, your host will explain how the event works and how to play the game.


The game itself is split into five rounds:


> Introductions - Meet your hosts and fellow suspects

> Round 1 - Time to start interrogating suspects 

> Round 2 - Police evidence revealed + Question & Answer session 

> Round 3 - Time to ask your final questions before making your deductions

> Denouement - The murderer is revealed

 

Each round is separated by a short break - if you are taking dinner as part of your experience then the courses can be served between the rounds. If no food is being taken, then the breaks allow for guests to start chatting about possible motives and suspects.

 

There is no need for anyone to have any acting experience (we positively encourage over-acting and the use of outrageous accents or mannerisms) nor prior knowledge of the plot as everything is scripted. Prior to your event we’ll provide you with an information pack so that consideration can be given beforehand to possible "casting". When characters are cast prior to the event we suggest that they may like to dress as their character to add further fun to the event.

 

We have a number of varying themes and plots - including some child-friendly and all-female versions, but each of our events is focussed on being fun rather than frightening. All of our events contain the following:


  • Murder Mystery plot
  • Actor / Host
  • Pre-event information pack
  • Certificates / Prizes

 

Our party events are designed to be flexible, so whether you are looking to host the event at a hotel, restaurant, rented holiday home, or your own home we can easily adapt to your requirements.
