From first contact to the start of the mystery
Booking entertainment shouldn’t feel uncertain, risky, or uncomfortable. This is exactly how a Murder Mystery Fun event works — what we handle, what you don’t have to think about, and what your guests actually experience on the night.
What surprises most hosts isn’t just how fast people get involved — it’s how funny it gets and how competitive everyone becomes. Even the quiet ones end up pointing fingers.
Here’s what happens from your first enquiry through to the moment the mystery begins.
1. Before the event

Corporate murder mystery in action
We shape the mystery around your group
Every event starts with a quick conversation. We’ll ask about:
What kind of event you’re running (corporate, birthday, hens/bucks, private party)
Group size and personalities
Venue, timing, and atmosphere
This isn’t a script we force your guests into. It’s a mystery designed to suit the people in the room.

What actually happens
While every event is slightly different, most follow this flow:
Guests arrive and are welcomed into the world of the mystery
Characters and relationships are introduced
The crime is revealed
Accusations, clues, alliances, and lies start flying
The final reveal — usually followed by laughter and arguing
Everyone participates at their own comfort level. Some guests go all-in. Others warm up as the night goes on. Both work.

Do you need acting experience to take part?
Absolutely not
No acting background required
No lines to memorise
No pressure to perform
This is guided, structured fun — not amateur theatre.

Offices, restaurants, function rooms, homes, backyards, or Zoom — if people can talk, it works.
Most events run 90 minutes to 2 hours, but we can:
Shorten it
