Best Value Murder Mysteries

Murder mysteries for those on a budget

Since we started offering murder mysteries professionally, a lot of other companies have sprung up in competition with us. As with builders, car mechanics and plumbers, there is now a big quality difference in what is available. With us, you can be sure that your murder mystery event will be intelligently written, entertainingly performed and great value for money. Because we pack so much into each murder mystery and only use highly experienced professional actors for them, our prices may occasionally be a bit higher than those of our competitors – but you definitely get what you pay for. And, if you are on a tight budget, we have some great best value options, too.

OPTION 1 – DOWNLOADABLE MURDER MYSTERIES

For 6-200 people. We work closely with Murder Mystery Games, a web-based company with various very enjoyable games you can buy online, download, print out and run yourself. Meant for private parties and company get-togethers rather than as commercially-run events, the plots are great fun and provide you with a whole evening’s entertainment for from as little as £20. Depending on how many guests there are, everyone has their own character to play or else people work in teams. Every game has a free introduction which provides a very good idea of what you’ll get if you go ahead and purchase. To find out more or buy a game, go to their downloadable murder mystery games website.

OPTION 2 – DOWNLOADABLE MURDER MYSTERY WITH A PROFESSIONAL ACTOR TO RUN IT FOR YOU

For 6-200 people. This is the same as Option 1 – except that with this option one or more of our professional actors will join you for your event. They’ll use their in-depth knowledge of the plots and great experience of running them to help things go smoothly. They’ll play one or more of the key characters and, by taking on the organiser’s role while the murder mystery unfolds, will take the pressure off whoever has arranged the event and enable them fully to relax and enjoy it. You’ll still need to buy, download, print out and assemble a Murder Mystery Games plot, but we should be able to give advice and answer any questions you have on how to do this. The price will depend on where your murder mystery is happening and how many actors you’d like to hire – it works fine with one actor but having more will add to the fun.

OPTION 3 - MURDER MYSTERY FOR A CHARITY OR AS A FUND RAISER

“St. Cakes has been a seat of learning since AD 930, when Bishop Cakes founded an educational establishment for those miraculously cured of leprosy, shortly before succumbing to the disease himself….”

For 40-200 people. Our good friends at murder mystery games have a terrific plot set in a public school which works perfectly for any group looking to fund-raise or hold a murder mystery to raise money for charity. Called St. Cakes, it is run in teams with some guest characters and plenty of opportunities for the more extrovert guests to become involved. It’s a chance for everyone to re-live their school days except that, at this school, murder is also on the syllabus. You can either buy the game direct from St. Cakes downloadable murder mystery and run it yourself – remember to check out the free introduction first, so you’ll have a good idea what you’ll be getting – or hire one or more of our professional actors to run it for you after you’ve put it together (contact us here for a quote).

OPTION 4 – WE DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU

For 6-250 people. This option gives you the chance to book one of our highly participative murder mysteries or fairly participative murder mysteries, but in a pared-down version using fewer actors. We’ll put it together and run it for you and source or recommend a venue for you. This option works particularly well for schools, PTAs and golf clubs and is another good option as a charity murder mystery or murder mystery fund-raising event. For a quote, again contact us here.
