We send two professional actors who will host the event, provide plenty of humour, and lead your guests in an interactive murder mystery event.

You and your guests will each have a character to play, and the murder mystery unfolds in real-time, with clues, evidence and even 'murders' occurring right before your eyes! Everyone is a suspect and everyone will have the chance to solve the crime and claim the prize at the end.

About this package

Professional Performers

Our experienced actors are with you throughout and will ensure everyone has a good time. The Murder Mystery runs for 2.5hours, usually over dinner (the plot unfolds around the dining table) but this doesn't have to be a three-course meal, it's just as much fun over a buffet or even a takeaway.

At the end of the event, there is a classic Agatha Christie-style denouément, during which the suspects are discounted one-by-one, before the killer is revealed. Everyone has the opportunity to solve the crime at the end of the night and we include a prize for the best answer.

Live-action Murder Mystery

There's no script to learn or serious acting involved, as you are given all the information you need on the night. You can choose from one of our fun plots / themes, including stories set in the 1920s, 1950s and 1960s.

You will be given details of the story's setting when you make your booking with Perfect Murder, along with a list of characters that you can, should you wish, issue to your guests in advance so they will which character they are playing. On the night, the two actors will issue each guest with a full-colour 'Character Card', which contains all the information required for the evening. There is no script to learn in advance and it's all very light-hearted; no-one will be under pressure to provide an Oscar-winning performance (although they are, of course, encouraged!).

The Mini Murder Mystery is designed to run over dinner (or lunch, our events are suitable for any time of day). We always advise that you run the murder mystery over a meal, around the table, as this is most conducive to a relaxed and fun event.
