How we work
Four acts. One killer. Three hours.
An evening with us runs like a play you get to walk around inside. Here’s exactly how the night unfolds.
Every production follows the same dramatic spine — arrival, crime, investigation, reveal — but the details bend to your guests, your space and the mystery you choose. No scripts to memorise. No awkward silences. Just a story that keeps moving.
-
Act I · 0:00 – 0:30
Arrival & cocktails
The world opens its doors.
Your guests are greeted in character, handed a signature cocktail and a sealed dossier of who they are for the evening. Our actors move through the room, planting rumours and rivalries before a single word of plot is spoken.
-
Act II · 0:30 – 0:50
The crime
The lights drop. Someone doesn’t get up.
A scene erupts — an argument, a scream, a body. The room is sealed and the investigation is declared open. From this moment, nothing your guests overheard during cocktails is innocent.
-
Act III · 0:50 – 2:15
Investigation & clues
Question everyone. Trust no one.
Armed with a clue sheet to track suspects, motives and evidence, guests interrogate suspects, search for planted clues, trade secrets and follow branching leads. Our actors improvise around a fixed truth, so every interview feels alive — and every sleuth finds their own path.
-
Act IV · 2:15 – 3:00
The accusation & reveal
Name your murderer.
Guests name their murderer on a ballot — usually each person fills in their own, or each team submits one together at a team-building event. The truth is unveiled in a final staged confession, prizes go to the sharpest sleuths, and the night ends with a toast to the guilty.
