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.

No acting background required
-
No lines to memorise
