How Murder Mystery works

What are the rules of Murder Mystery?

After a dramatic introduction, your guests will work in teams to follow clues and solve the mystery. Either complete as individuals or per table, depending on the group size.

Who is Murder Mystery for?

Murder Mystery works best with groups of 20 or more. It’s a great way to mark a memorable evening for anyone who likes drama and twists. If you have a smaller group size and think your guests would be up for it, we can set the themed event up so that each guest is assigned a character, complete with detailed background story and secrets.

How long does Murder Mystery last?

The mystery unfolds over a leisurely dinner – two to three hours.

How do Murder Mystery events work?

At a Murder Mystery party, guests are invited to step into a world of intrigue and suspense. They are often given a specific theme or setting, such as a 1920s speakeasy or a Victorian manor, to create an immersive atmosphere.

Murder Mystery parties provide an exciting and interactive experience, combining elements of puzzle-solving, role-playing and socialising.

Massive thank you to Rhys & Mike for creating a professional and overall enjoyable experience for our team. Throughout the entire process they worked hard to ensure our values and needs were met on the day. The delivery of the events was incredibly well received and I can safely say I would be glad to book with Maximillion again.

Thenue Housing Association

Just a note to say thanks for all your help with the Yamaha event last week. It went very well, and the client was very happy. I know she was a bit worried just because of experiences at other venues around the world where things have not gone according to plan. So for us to arrive and see it all set and ready to roll, put her mind at rest.

Working with Maximillion has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience for our organisation. Over the course of our 5-year collaboration they have expertly delivered a range of online and in-person events for us, including large-scale conferences and stand builds, internal staff gatherings, and engaging team away days. Their attention to detail, creativity, and seamless execution were evident in every event they organised for us. Whether managing the logistics of a high-profile conference or crafting memorable team-building experiences during away days, their professionalism and dedication shone through.

Vicki Sharpe, Head of Marketing

Working with Maxmillion events for the Traitor’s themed evening at Prestonfield House was a great experience. Jenny and her team were a delight to work with, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan immersive events.

The PC Agency

Very well organised in the lead up and on the day of the event. Clear communication throughout! The team delivered a fantastic Highland Games event on the day that everyone enjoyed. Thanks to Mike, Rhys and the team!

TotalEnergies

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.

University of Edinburgh

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. This is the second time using Maximillion and on both occasions they have made the event! So much fun and so engaging. The feedback from all who attended was this was a brilliant session. Huge thanks to all involved.

Abertay Housing Association

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic murder mystery and DJ services the Maximillion team provided at our recent Renewables UK Seminar at Cameron House Hotel. It was an evening filled with excitement and entertainment, and Maximillion played a pivotal role in making it a memorable experience for all of us.

TotalEnergies

Just to say the event went brilliantly on Saturday. Had some really good feedback from people and everyone had a great time! Thanks so much for all your help!
