Our Murder Mystery Dinner Services

Every course we serve is thoughtfully integrated into the murder mystery plot. Whether it’s a suspiciously spicy starter or a dessert with a hint, the food plays a pivotal role in the unfolding narrative.

Our team of decorators and set designers meticulously creates an atmosphere that transports you and your guests into the mystery. Authentic props, thematic decorations, and strategic lighting enhance the immersive experience.
Expert Event Coordination

Tailored Character Roles for Guests
For those who wish to be more than just a bystander, we offer tailored character roles that can be assumed throughout the evening. Guests can opt to be directly involved in the drama, with customised backstories and objectives that align with the evening’s theme.
Post-Event Debrief and Awards
After the mystery is solved and the meal is enjoyed, we host a debrief session where the night’s secrets are unveiled, and guests can discuss their theories and experiences. Awards can be given for ‘Best Detective’, ‘Best Actor’, and ‘Best Costume’, adding an element of fun and camaraderie to the evening.
Custom Script Writing
Every Murder Mystery Dinner is driven by a captivating script, the backbone of the evening’s entertainment. Our talented writers can craft custom scripts that integrate culinary elements seamlessly and reflect your specific event theme or corporate message. This bespoke storytelling ensures your event is unique, engaging, and memorable for all participants.
Immersive Audio-Visual Effects
Our events can include state-of-the-art audiovisual effects to enhance the atmosphere of mystery and suspense. Strategic lighting, sound effects, and background music are tailored to each mystery scene, intensifying the drama and excitement. These elements are expertly managed to sync with the storyline, enhancing the overall immersive experience of the dinner.
Professional Photography and Videography
Capture the excitement, costumes, and key moments of your Murder Mystery Dinner with our professional photography and videography services. Our skilled photographers and videographers will document the event, providing you with high-quality images and video clips that are perfect for sharing with guests post-event or for promotional use by your company.
Interactive Technology Integration
To modernise the traditional murder mystery experience, we incorporate interactive technology such as augmented reality clues or QR code-based puzzles. These elements can be used to reveal clues and engage guests in the mystery through their smartphones, adding a contemporary twist to the classic dinner puzzle format.
Expert Wine Pairing
Complement the gourmet dishes served during your Murder Mystery Dinner with expertly selected wines. Our sommelier can curate wines that pair perfectly with each course, enhancing the culinary experience. Each pairing can also play into the evening theme, with wines that hold a clue to solving the mystery, adding an extra layer of intrigue.
Pre-Event Guest Engagement
To build anticipation and engagement before the event, we can facilitate pre-event interactions among guests. This might include the distribution of character backgrounds, “secret” invitations, and online forums where guests can start to speculate about the plot and their roles. This pre-engagement helps guests prepare for their roles and enhances their participation and enjoyment of the actual event.
