★★★★★ East Pier and Sons Bought this game for my wife's 30th surprise birthday party. She had no idea what was happening but loved every second of the game. It was perfect timing since her birthday is just before Halloween. We did it up big. Everyone dressed their parts. There was one group who knew the killer in the second round but wasn't certain. Everyone kept walking around stealing info from other teams. You may not want to allow phones, though it was fun watching everyone try to be slick with hiding the fact that they were taking pictures. We can't wait to try it again with our customers.

Customer Testimonial
On behalf of the Social Club committee and our members, I would like to say a huge thank for a fantastic night on Friday. We truly appreciate the hard work you went to create a bespoke murder mystery event for us. You thought about all the venue and guest challenges and created an event that worked seamlessly and was great fun. What I loved about the design of the event was the flexibility for people to get involved as much or as little as they wanted yet still have fun. The design of the event also encouraged guests to socialise outside of their normal bubble. At our events we typically see guests staying in their own groups, however the purpose of social club events is to network and meet people you would not normally speak to in your day-to-day role. Your design achieved this beautifully and it was great to see people interacting. Thank you so much.
