03 · The guest experience

The Venue Exclusive

Written for your hotel. Performed once. Never repeated.

We research your property's character, spaces and selected history, then create a new six-character mystery for one performance only.

Guests dine, observe, question the suspects and study the evidence. Nobody is handed a script or dragged onto a stage.

A genuine exclusive: after the final reveal, the story is permanently retired. A returning hotel receives a completely new case.

04 · Who does what?

Two clear responsibilities. One complete evening.

Your hotel

You host and sell the occasion

  • Choose the menu, package and guest price
  • Handle marketing, bookings and guest enquiries
  • Provide the dining room and normal hospitality team
  • Provide dinner, accommodation, breakfast and parking for six actors
  • Provide a private changing and rehearsal room nearby

The Murder Society

We create and perform the mystery

  • Research your venue and write the original case
  • Provide six professional actors, characters, clues and evidence
  • Agree the running order with your events and F&B teams
  • Carry out the venue visit and appropriate risk assessment
  • Supply ready-to-use marketing material within 7–10 days of payment
Your kitchen remains in control. The performance is planned around the three-course service, so your team is not asked to hold food for lengthy scenes.
