A murder mystery experience is an entertaining combination of dressing up, socializing, and sleuthing with just a dash of showing off if you’re the one to solve the mystery and not be murdered.

So if you know someone who’s always fancied themselves as a bit of a detective, or someone who tries to guess who the murderer is in every episode of NCIS or Vera or Lucifer, even if they’re so crap at it they have to pick five different people, or someone who cried when Inspector Morse died, then this is the gift for them.

This is a murder mystery experience with an added twist – it’s a party for a party of one.

Suitable for:
People who drink alone
The paranoid
Solipsists
Trainee detectives

You might at first glance consider this to be a pretty crap idea, and we’d hate to disagree with you.
