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.

We held events running over two days. The Maximillion Gameshow which was fun and engaged all who attended the first evening event. During our away day we had Team Tops Trumps in the morning, again this was inclusive for all who were in attendance. Lastly during the afternoon of our away day we took part in Level-up which I have to say was great fun for all involved.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at our Teambuilding afternoon hosted by Maximillion Events at our Ayrshire premises. This is now the 3rd time we have used their services and will definitely be looking to use them again next year. Such a lovely and professional group of people to deal with!! We had various games with a bespoke package set up for a group of staff members with varying degree of mobility. We did carpet curling (indoors), giant jenga, connect 4, darts, air hockey to name but a few all being done outside near to our foodhall and “refreshments” area. It was perfect, everyone had a blast and the Maximillion team were a joy to work with. Thorough, professional, safety conscious and lots of fun. They looked to enjoy themselves watching us and our very competitive natures shine through. Thank you again to all at Maximillion – you made our day that extra special.

Our guests were delighted with the day of Highland Games, the team of maximilion was fantastic. I will recommend them 100%.

Horizons – TPG Scotland

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.

Spectra

Jenny takes the time to understand our vision and goals for each event and consistently exceeded our expectations through close partnership and honest, transparent communications. Building a partnership that has become an extension of our core in-house team has resulted in innovative ideas, handling challenges with ease, and seamless event delivery from the whole team.
