Give your Christmas get-together a murderous twist

There’s a secret at the Christmas dinner table, and someone is looking rather too innocent.

Our murder mystery Christmas parties turn a festive gathering into a shared investigation. As the story unfolds, you’ll question suspicious characters, compare evidence and decide whose alibi deserves a second look.

Expect our signature “Carry On Agatha Christie” humour: playful plots, larger-than-life personalities and professional actors who know how to get a room laughing.

Some groups love taking on suspect roles. Others prefer our actors to play the characters while they solve the crime. We’ll help you find a format that suits your guests.

Planning the office Christmas party?

Bring colleagues together over a mystery that gives everyone something to discuss. Guests can pool their observations, challenge each other’s theories and enjoy a few questionable accusations around dinner.

Choose a hosted role-play mystery for willing guest suspects, or an actor-led investigation where the professional cast plays the characters.

Our corporate Christmas murder mystery packages explain the performance options, group sizes and prices, plus what’s included and what you arrange separately.

How your evening could unfold

1. Settle in

Meet your guests, admire the festive outfits and get ready for the first suspicious encounter.

2. Discover the crime

Your actors set the scene, introduce the mystery and explain how to take part.

3. Dine & investigate

The plot develops around dinner, with clues to consider and characters to question.

4. Name the culprit

Make your accusation before the solution is revealed. Then compare your detective work.

A dinner and mystery typically runs for around three hours. Timings and catering depend on your chosen event or confirmed private package.
