Created exclusively for distinctive hotels

A murder mystery written for your hotel. Performed once. Never repeated.

We turn your hotel into the setting for a completely original murder mystery, created specifically for your property and performed by six professional actors around a three-course dinner.

One fixed £2,000 production fee. You set the package, sell the tickets and retain 100% of the guest revenue.

The hotel also provides a three-course dinner, overnight accommodation, breakfast and parking for our six actors.

03 · The guest experience

The Venue Exclusive

Written for your hotel. Performed once. Never repeated.

We research your property's character, spaces and selected history, then create a new six-character mystery for one performance only.

Guests dine, observe, question the suspects and study the evidence. Nobody is handed a script or dragged onto a stage.

A genuine exclusive: after the final reveal, the story is permanently retired. A returning hotel receives a completely new case.
