Celebrating personal achievements is an essential aspect of self-appreciation and an opportunity to share our success with a group of friends and loved ones. While traditional gatherings may involve parties or outings, why not consider something truly unique and memorable? Hosting a whodunnit dinner can add an element of excitement, intrigue, and entertainment, making it an ideal choice for commemorating your triumph. It’s a fun way to celebrate! When planning a whodunnit dinner or murder mystery weekend away, the first step is to select an appropriate theme that aligns with your achievement. Whether you’ve completed a significant project, achieved a long-held goal, or reached a major milestone, the theme can reflect your journey. Themes can range from a glamorous 1920s speakeasy to an eerie Victorian mansion, ensuring your guests are transported into a different world. Invitations play a crucial role in setting the tone for your whodunnit dinner. Design them to resemble confidential files or vintage detective notes, giving guests hints and clues about the upcoming event. Encourage attendees to dress in character, immersing themselves in the atmosphere and enhancing the overall experience. Selecting a compelling plot is essential for an engaging evening. Choose one that aligns with your achievement, allowing the story to revolve around the challenges and triumphs you faced. Collaborate with us to personalise an existing plot or craft an original story for you, ensuring it is cohesive, intriguing, and suitable for your guests’ participation levels so they may hone their problem-solving skills. To enhance the immersive experience, in our role-play events, everyone is involved. We assign characters to your guests well in advance (or last minute if you prefer surprises). Each character has a detailed background, including relationships, secrets, and motives. Our professional acting team encourages guests to embrace their roles fully, as they will spend the evening unravelling the mystery while embodying their characters. This adds a layer of excitement and interactivity, making the celebration truly unique. Choose from over 20 immersive whodunnit plots of different themes. Our team of professional actors plays all the leading suspects, with some suspects played by unsuspecting audience members. You and your guests work as a team of ace detectives to solve the crimes and question the suspects, assisted by the lead detective interrogating the suspects. Transform your space into a captivating crime scene by carefully selecting decorations, lighting, and music. Setting the mood is essential for immersing guests entirely in the experience, or choose a venue with all that built-in at a stunning Manor House hotel. Consider dim lighting, candlelit tables, crime scene tape, vintage props, and even sound effects to transport your guests into the world you’ve created. The whodunnit dinner would be incomplete without delectable food and drinks. Design a menu that complements the theme, incorporating dishes that reflect the era or atmosphere. Whether it’s a lavish buffet or a formal sit-down dinner, ensure the food and beverages are as enticing as the mystery unfolding around your guests. If arranging a private venue, consider a recommended caterer, or at a hotel venue, consider the menu choices with their chef. We always have a meet and greet with guests to maximise the impact of these immersive events so guests can get to know the characters and scenarios and provide clue packs. As the evening progresses, intrigue and anticipation will build. Collaborate with the professional actors as they introduce twists and turns to keep everyone guessing. Encourage guests to share their suspicions, theories, and insights, fostering lively discussions and creating lasting memories as they solve the riddles and clues needed to catch a killer. By the close of the evening, guests solve the mystery and provide their solutions, after which the winning team claims the Super Sleuth prize. Hosting a whodunnit dinner to celebrate a personal achievement adds a touch of excitement, allowing you and your guests to embark on a thrilling adventure while honouring your success. By carefully planning the theme, plot, character assignments, and ambience, you can create an unforgettable experience that will be discussed for years. So, embrace the unconventional and celebrate your achievements by hosting a murder mystery party that will leave everyone on the edge of their seats! “Thank you much for a most amazing evening.

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.
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.
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.Our Past Clients Include:-

An amazing experience, first time I’ve been to a murder mystery. Entertaining evening full of laughter and interaction. Highly recommend… thank you to all the staff involved.
Really 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
Really interesting evening - over the top acting, good acting, interesting concept - food was pretty good too and enjoyed the crowd work!
Great 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.
Wow, 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.
Very entertaining, I didn't think it would be something I would enjoy, but I was wrong.
We 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
As an Actor, working with MurderMysteryEvents.com has been lovely.
4 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
I 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
MurderMysteryEvents.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.
We 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!
