Our murders are generally themed which gives the audience chance to interact by dressing accordingly. The Mafia Wedding for example means that they can all get their glad rags on!
We spend around 30 minutes in character at the start of the evening welcoming the guests to the venue, be it the cruise ship, the old manor house, or the wedding.
Once all of the guests have arrived and seated themselves at their designated tables, we perform a short (20 minutes or so) playlet during which numerous clues and red herrings are made available.
We tend to perform this in the round which means that the audience all get a pretty good view of what is going on.
As expected, towards the end of the play – someone dies!
There follows two question rounds during which each table may ask a question. These are led by the detective, and generally take place in between courses of your meal. Various clues and handouts are also made available to the tables to help them in their deductions!
Finally at the end of the evening, the guests make their accusations as to whodunnit, and the murderer is revealed.
We currently have six murders available with more to come in the future.
