Our events are often available to the general public but we are also just as at home with a private engagement or a corporate soiree!
Our stories are set in the stylish 1930s, but we are just at home in 1940’s wartime Britain, the Rock’n’ Roll 1950’s or even the swinging 1960’s. Why not take a look at our selection of storylines selection of storylines
We offer different formats to suit different budgets so please check out our format page format page
Our emphasis is on our guests having a great evening’s entertainment. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and our teams work really hard to ensure that even if you haven’t discovered the murder (we make it tricky sometimes) you will still have had a great time and want to come back for more.

We specialise in ‘real-time’ murders, which means our murderer must meet up with their victim and do the deed. Our victims don’t just lie around waiting to be found, but we challenge you to find out just whodunnit?!

If you have a special date in mind, why not call us on 07980 863468 and enquire if we are available. We are busy people, but a 25% deposit will secure your booking. All of our prices are plus VAT.
