Murder Mystery UK have been killing people for years - and we've been having fun doing it !   Our dark deeds have been seen by hundreds of people and we believe that our events offer the best value entertainment. Although we are based in the south of England and generally work in Hampshire, Dorset, Sussex and Surrey, we can (and do) work all over the UK. COVID-19 UPDATE Due to the Coronavirus situation ALL Murder Mystery Dinner and Murder Mystery Weekend events have been cancelled, as venues are unable to host large scale events. We are pleased to be able to offer our Murder Mystery Party events (see below) as an alternative. These events can take place in a COVID-secure venue such as a Restaurant or Bar provided guests are seated in groups of no more than 6 per table and are compliant with local COVID-19 restrictions. Please ask for further details. MURDER MYSTERY DINNER or MURDER MYSTERY WEEKEND We are serious about providing quality events that are interactive and fun.  After all, murder is a serious business so we treat everything as if it is 'real'.  Therefore, we will never refer to the event as a Murder Mystery - and you will probably get a few strange looks from our actors if you were to ask "When is the murder going to happen?"     All of our plots are geared towards creating realistic situations, whilst also having some fun and laughter along the way.  It’s all about engaging with you - the audience - enjoying a traditional, yet modern, "whodunnit" close-up.   We only use professional actors - generally between 6 -10 depending on the plot .  As far as we know, we are the only company to use so many actors per plot.  We encourage our audience to become involved and participate, but we never use them as victims, murderers or suspects.   Finally - yes, there will be blood ..... and screaming, fights and arguments, distraught relatives, and possibly affairs, embezzlement and illegitimate children.  But don't let that stop you from interrogating the suspects... and let's face it, we've all secretly wanted to ask all those really embarrassing questions of someone - and here's your chance ..... ** NEW ** MURDER MYSTERY PARTY Our smaller scale "party" events are hosted by professional actors who are there to ensure the smooth running of the event and also to play characters within the story. The assembled guests are then invited to volunteer to play the additional characters within the story. Everyone gets the chance to use their detective skills and solve the mystery. The best way to describe it would be to think of it as a live version of "Cluedo". Once the assembled guests are ready to play and the characters assigned, the hosts will explain how the event works and how to play the game. The game itself is split into five rounds: Character Introductions - Round 1 - Round 2 -Round 3 - Denouement. Each round is separated by a short break - if guests are taking dinner as part of their 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 any of the guests 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. For corporate or private events, we provide an information pack to the organiser 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 versions, but each of our events is focussed on being fun rather than frightening. Our events are constructed to suit any venue - whether you want to host the event in your own home or use a venue of your choice we can adapt - all we need is a space large enough to hold your guests. We have a number of various plot suitable for mixed groups - minimum 6 players (3M/3F) - maximum 20 players (10M/10F) When contacting us, please provide the following information so that we can provide you with a comprehensive quote for your event: * DATE / TIME of event * LOCATION - we can arrange a venue if desired * FOOD / DRINK - we can arrange this if desired * ACCOMMODATION - we can arrange overnight accommodation if desired * NUMBER OF GUESTS ATTENDING * BUDGET - we always strive to provide an event within your budget, but please remember you are paying for PROFESSIONAL actors to provide your entertainment. ...
