Murder Mystery UK

The event opens with a welcome speech from the MC, whereby they will set the scene for the event and provide information on who has died. The suspect characters will make themselves available for interrogation and will remain in character throughout the evening. It is up to the audience detectives to talk to the actors and obtain all of the information they need to solve the mystery. Towards the end of the evening you will be invited to submit your theories - who did it and why ? The evidence will be reviewed and the guilty party unmasked. There is only ONE possible solution - can you work out who had the means, motive and opportunity. Our Murder Mystery Dinner events are based on 4 professional actors playing all of the suspect characters within the plot. The number of suspects can be increased (subject to additional costs) depending on your budget or number of guests attending. If you have more than 70 guests we recommend our Deluxe Murder Mystery Dinner event. What's included with our events: * Murder Mystery plot * Actor/s (as appropriate to your event) * Pre-event information pack for all guests * Certificate / Prizes

Firstly, there needs to be a reason for everyone to have gathered for the evening - this could be anything from a wedding reception, a family gathering, or a society AGM. You will be invited to select your theme from our catalogue of plots. The action usually starts during pre-Dinner drinks. Actors, who play the 'characters', will mingle with the guests, or "audience detectives" as we like to call them, and the story starts to unfold. From this point onwards, you should be prepared for anything and everything. At some point during dinner two or more of the 'characters' will die - usually quite horribly and messily. Now is the time to begin your investigations. The actors will make themselves available for interrogation and will remain in character throughout the evening. It is up to the audience detectives to talk to the actors and obtain all of the information they need to solve the mystery. The innocent 'characters' will only tell the truth - although they may be evasive at first. The guilty may tell the truth, but may also tell lies in order to avoid suspicion. It is up to the audience detectives to decipher fact from fiction and avoid the red herrings. Towards the end of the evening you will be invited to submit your theories - who did it and why ? The evidence will be reviewed and the guilty party unmasked. There is only ONE possible solution - can you work out who had the means, motive and opportunity. The evening concludes with the awarding of Prizes . What's included with our events: * Murder Mystery plot * Actor/s (as appropriate to your event) * Pre-event information pack for all guests * Certificate / Prizes Our requirements: Our Murder Mystery Dinners are designed to be fully immersive events for the "audience" and so the actors will be available for interrogation throughout and will require dinner to be provided, and a self-contained private room in which to change and safely store their belongings.

Our smaller scale "party" events are perfect for private parties; fundraising events or corporate teambuilding for groups of up to 20 participants*. The event is hosted by a professional actor who is there to ensure the smooth running of the game. The assembled guests play the main Suspect 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 host will explain how the event works and how to play the game. The game itself is split into five rounds: 1 -Character Introductions 2 - Round 1 Questions & Answers 3 - Round 2 Questions & Answers 4 - Round 3 Questions & Answers 5 - Denouement. Each round is separated by a short break - if guests are taking dinner/lunch 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. 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. Each of our events is focussed on being fun rather than frightening. All of our events contain the following: Murder Mystery plot 1 x Actor / Host Pre-event information pack Certificates / Prizes NOT INCLUDED: Venue Hire/Food & Beverages 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 all-girl or mixed groups - minimum 6 players - maximum 20 players.
