How it works

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

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.

2. What we handle and what you don’t. 

Simple. Clear. No surprises.

We take care of:

  • The story, characters, and structure

  • All clues, twists, and reveals

  • Hosting and running the experience

  • Keeping energy high and guests engaged


 You take care of:

  • The venue

  • Food and drinks (if applicable)

  • Inviting your guests

No prep work. No scripts to memorise. No awkward icebreakers. Talk to us about your plans, we can help.

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.

4. 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.

5. Where it works and run times

Flexible formats

Our murder mysteries work brilliantly for:

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

  • Extend it

  • Build it around meals or breaks

The mystery fits your event — not the other way around. Click here for a more detailed look at what happens and typical run times.
