We deliver a complete afternoon or evening’s entertainment and the best way to describe our show is to think of it as interactive theatre with our actors taking on the roles of the suspects. This format leaves you and your guests free to enjoy the show and play the game as detectives.
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 entertaining 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 leather wallet 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 for the best experience. A performance would typically take place over lunch or dinner and last for approximately three hours although this can be shorter or longer as appropriate. Whilst we do cover the whole of the UK and frequently travel internationally; 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 team to ensure that the performance can fill any room.
