Murder mystery birthday party nights are fun and intriguing for all involved. Whether you’re looking to arrange a large-scale bash or get a few friends together for a night of comedy, suspense and fancy dress, we have a murder mystery birthday party package right for you! Let us organise the whole thing with a venue and arrange a private murder mystery birthday party for an evening of luxury. Alternatively, if you have booked a location that you feel would be the perfect setting for a night of crime-solving, let us know, and we will provide the party elements of the package. If you’re looking for a night of thrills suitable for any number of guests, a venue-arranged private murder mystery birthday party is perfect. Our Birthday Bonanza plot has been written explicitly for birthday parties, with the birthday boy or girl taking centre stage as the story’s star and guests dressing up to role-play the suspects! Theme: 1920’s Gangsterland! The story centres on Belle or Beau Bounty (played by the birthday boy or girl), owner of the internationally renowned Bounty’s Back parlour speakeasy to the stars, in downtown Chicago, USA. It’s the height of prohibition, and their friends, Amy Wino, Tina Turncoat & Brother Cupafeal, to name a few, are meeting for their birthday mystery theme party when suddenly there’s a murder! This murder mystery is where you play the suspects and solve the crime. It’s down to you and your fellow guests to solve the mystery aided by a private investigator. One of you is the murderer- but whom? All will be revealed in a thrilling evening of intrigue! Some of the suspects will be interrogated by the PI (played by one of our actors) during the event, and you’ll get the chance to question other guests, so try to keep your wits about you. There’s a prize for the super sleuth who discovers whodunnit! As the night unfolds… It’s your night, so you can decide when to begin, but we recommend starting with a drink reception at around 7 pm. A murder mystery birthday party lasts around 3 hours, giving you plenty of time to continue partying well into the night… 7:00 pm – Drinks reception: Meet at reception for pre-dinner drinks, where you’ll receive your clue-packs and further character details. You will get to know who’s who – keep your wits about you so you don’t miss a clue! 7:45 pm – Dinner is served: Each course is served, and the comic plot unfolds. Your Private Investigator will guide you through, unveiling the story and its twists and turns. You might be questioned by the detective or reveal an important clue when asked by a fellow guest during the main course! Word games and Quizzes are introduced during the evening, which may reveal important clues as to whodunnit. 9:15 pm – You solve the crime: Before the dessert, it’s your chance to be a super sleuth and solve the crime. Hand in your solution sheet for the final judging, and discover the culprit. 9:45 pm – Prizes awarded: The star prize of one bottle of bubbly is awarded to the winning detective and a booby prize to the hen who came up with the most absurd solution. But there’s still a chance to win with our limerick competition, free prize draw and best fancy dress! 10 pm – End of murder mystery event. We often get requests for upgrades to make a murder mystery birthday package even more luxurious and exciting, so we’ve created a list of optional upgrades. We also offer a free upgrade to a two-actor event for groups of over 20 and a free upgrade to a premium dinner theatre event for groups of over 25. Optional upgrades: N.B. The murder mystery pricing is for a minimum of 14 guests. You must pay for 14 guests, so if you had a group of 12, you’d be charged for 14 (so see if you can invite more friends!) Decide on your venue (we’ve worked with hotels in most major cities across the UK), package, and optional extras, and let us do the rest. If you’ve found the perfect location for an evening of fancy dress, fun, and murder mystery, book our private murder mystery birthday party package – you organise the venue, character costumes and catering, and we do the rest. Our birthday bonanza is suitable for 8 to 20 guests, and is hosted by our Private Investigator, who will facilitate the night’s events and help you to discover whodunnit! Theme: 1920’s Gangsterland! The birthday boy or girl is the star of this story, whilst your guests play the suspects. With roles such as Damien Thirst, Tina Turncoat, and Brother Cupafeal, you’re bound to get drawn into the mystery and intrigue of the plot and have an unforgettable night of birthday fun!

Chris Jones16:26 23 Nov 25Really nice evening, the actors were excellent, full of fun. They were very attentive and continually visiting our table chatting and allowing us to ask questions, and very vague with thier answers, giving nothing away. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening

Elena Cherenkova21:59 15 Nov 25Great organization, location and meal, acting is great too-a lot of fun! It was quite noisy in the room so didn’t hear some of the plot or jokes, but other than that had a great night.
Lynne Bibby08:19 25 Oct 25Wow, we had such a fun night at this event. We never stopped laughing !! The actors were brilliant and were very entertaining. Our evening was made even more special as we shared the table with lovely people and what a great team we were !! Our table won as our joint sleuthing helped to identify who murdered Mother Superior.
The meal was very tasty too, serving staff looked after us very well.
Would definitely recommend this event and hope to attend more of these for a fun night out.
Paul Mills06:39 26 Sep 24Very entertaining, I didn't think it would be something I would enjoy, but I was wrong.
Fern Brown15:18 02 Aug 24We booked for a Hen Party and weren’t disappointed, our actor Chris, was warm, welcoming and providing an excellent evening of entertainment and adventures. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I cannot thank the company enough for their help and support in organising it. Would thoroughly recommend the company
Ken Ogborn20:36 19 Jun 24As an Actor, working with MurderMysteryEvents.com has been lovely.
They've been really friendly, and respectful and appreciative of what I've brought to the mix. They've built good relationships with venues, and they have a returning customer base too, so there's a really fun atmosphere to every gig. The plots are suitably labyrinthine, and there's plenty of humour. On the management side, the communication is good, and there are open channels to the senior team to give feedback after each job. They never quibble about pay or delay paying - which as a freelance actor is really important.
Lizpowell73 rianna00:19 24 Feb 24Highly entertaining and exceptionally funny. Do it!
Heather Durward16:32 18 Nov 22Excellent fun for everyone
Denis Smith16:13 17 Nov 224 of us went and got on the same table with other strangers, by the end of the night we were all firm friends ,actors and plot great food excellent, will be going again thank you murder mystery events 10/10
L Gratwick19:16 20 Dec 21I had booked a murder mystery evening including dinner and overnight stay at the Elstead Hotel, Bournemouth which was a lovely venue. We were very fortunate to get an evening when so many events are having to be cancelled so it was probably smaller than is usual but none of us minded that as we were all determined to have fun - and we certainly did! Interactive entertainment with a lovely dinner, pleasant companions and an attractive hotel which is very well placed in Bournemouth to get to the station, supermarket, shops, bars, beaches, etc
The players were very amusing and helped the evening along but the hotel staff were also really welcoming and helpful.
The communication with the event organisers was first rate and I can't wait to book again.
Julie Howard11:30 30 Sep 21MurderMysteryEvents.com attended a Teambuilding weekend for our business at the weekend and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it ! The actors were great - extremely enthusiastic - and it made for an extremely enjoyable and hilarious evening. Would definitely recommend.
Deepti Sharma10:33 01 Nov 20We participated in the Virtual Murder mystery at Screech Manor from our laptop at home and it was fantastic! The actors were great and really professional, even with some zoom glitches! They made the event so engaging and fun! Highly recommend it as a fun activity to do (especially with covid 19 lockdown restrictions!) Thanks for a great evening Murder mystery events! You were all so amazing over zoom, we can't wait to eventually attend one in real life!Our Past Clients Include:-
