Murder Mystery

Mur­der Mys­tery Information

We offer you din­ner the­atre that is per­fect­ly per­formed and suit­able for all types of cor­po­rate enter­tain­ment, spe­cial events and pri­vate par­ties. Our unique, enter­tain­ing and hilar­i­ous per­for­mances can work in any loca­tion and for any num­ber of guests.

Usu­al­ly unfold­ing over din­ner; your guests would be the key wit­ness­es to a bru­tal mur­der and must attempt to dis­cov­er the guilty par­ty. Using top West End actors and a bril­liant script — we offer an entire evening’s enter­tain­ment that is per­fect­ly suit­ed to any event. 

We deliv­er a com­plete after­noon or evening’s enter­tain­ment and the best way to describe what we do is to think of it as a real­ly good piece of inter­ac­tive the­atre. The enter­tain­ment begins dur­ing pre-din­ner drinks, as our colour­ful char­ac­ters wel­come guests; allow­ing them to get acquaint­ed with every­one involved. Foul mur­der takes place dur­ing a pre-din­ner speech and one of our char­ac­ters comes for­ward to host pro­ceed­ings and lead the inves­ti­ga­tion. Guests are sep­a­rat­ed into teams to work togeth­er and hilar­i­ous short scenes are enact­ed over din­ner as sus­pects are inter­viewed. Through­out the evening guests will have the chance to inter­view and inter­act with each of the sus­pects indi­vid­u­al­ly to help them form their con­clu­sions. To help teams in their inves­ti­ga­tion they will be pre­sent­ed with a sil­ver brief­case con­tain­ing every­thing they need to run their inves­ti­ga­tion which includes beau­ti­ful­ly pre­sent­ed infor­ma­tion on each of the suspects. 

Once all the sus­pects have been inter­ro­gat­ed, your guests can offer their solu­tions. They must name the killer and explain his or her motive. Once all these the­o­ries have been pre­sent­ed we approach the moment of truth as our inves­ti­ga­tor reveals the real killer and the motive. Expect a dra­mat­ic con­fes­sion and like­ly an attempt to flee the scene before the mur­der­er is appre­hend­ed. Order is restored, a win­ning team is announced and prizes are awarded. 

We use a min­i­mum of four actors for a per­for­mance although we do rec­om­mend using our full cast of six. A per­for­mance would typ­i­cal­ly take place over din­ner and last for approx­i­mate­ly three hours although this can of course be short­er or longer as appro­pri­ate. Whilst we do cov­er the whole of the UK; we are Lon­don based and there may be a trav­el charge depend­ing on the loca­tion of your venue. If your event has less than 100 guests then we can usu­al­ly per­form with­out ampli­fi­ca­tion. For a larg­er event we can bring along our sound engi­neers to ensure that the per­for­mance can fill any room.

Cor­po­rate Events

A Mur­der Mys­tery is a great idea for any type of event but we think it is an absolute win­ner for any type of cor­po­rate occa­sion. Many of the pri­vate per­for­mances at which we com­mit mur­der are for cor­po­rate clients and we can boast an eye-water­ing list of pre­vi­ous com­pa­nies that have enjoyed our shows. You might be host­ing a con­fer­ence and be look­ing for one evening of din­ner enter­tain­ment or you could even be treat­ing your col­leagues to a night out. Either way; we at the Mur­der Mys­tery Col­lec­tive promise to enter­tain and ensure that the audi­ence will have a blast.

The event allows guests to inter­act and work togeth­er whilst try­ing to solve the mys­tery – it is an amaz­ing ice-break­er and will cer­tain­ly avoid the pit-falls of a bor­ing con­fer­ence din­ner. If you have a mul­ti-nation­al audi­ence then show­ing them this famous British insti­tu­tion could give them some­thing that they have nev­er seen before.

Our Mur­der Mys­tery events are care­ful­ly writ­ten to be fun, inter-active and per­fect­ly suit­ed to a mixed cor­po­rate audi­ence. Guests can either get involved, chat to the actors then offer a solu­tion. Or if they pre­fer they can sim­ply sit back, laugh and enjoy the show. We promise that even the most ner­vous and retir­ing of guest will find them­selves unable to resist join­ing in and play­ing detective.

Mur­der Mys­tery Plots and Stories

We offer sev­er­al plots and sto­ries that are per­fect­ly suit­ed to any occa­sion.

Each of our scripts have been painstak­ing­ly writ­ten, rehearsed and per­fect­ed. Rather hand­i­ly all of our plots can eas­i­ly be adapt­ed to fit the theme of your event!
