We wanted to entertain and connect our dispersed teams, having done a few quizzes and a magic show. I couldn\’t wait to host something for our murder mystery fans but had no idea how we could pull this off online to engage over 150 colleagues.

I can highly recommend @red-herring-games who made it super easy, with a smorgasbord of options; from providing a story so we could host our own, to a fully-fledged professional actor-delivered show. We went mid-way and had six brave colleagues volunteer to play suspects, with @Jo Smedley and an actor playing the Detective and assistant roles.

Keiron did most of the hard work for us, answering every question quickly and with enthusiasm that came across even in the written word. He put comms and suspect packs together- er (including sourcing them a little surprise thank-you gift. Even attended off-duty on the evening to take screenshots of the event for us. Red Herring also helped us identify which story would suit our needs as we wanted a version colleagues could attend with their families, so we removed the murder element and had a musical Abba-themed crime instead! Jo and her team took all of the hassles out of the tech side of making things work, so we just had to show up and let the fun commence! Thank you Jo and Keiron, you made not just the event fun for all of us, but especially for me as an organiser, you made it so easy and such an enjoyable experience.

We are super happy customers, and can\’t wait to work with you again.

I thought I was going to dinner to celebrate my friend, who I had not seen in 19 yrs, turning 40. Imagine my surprise when she added this into the mix! Imagine my bigger surprise when I discovered that she, who lives in LA, had contacted Red Herring Games, run by an old school friend back here in the UK! It was only when I saw the back to the script did I realise who had organised everything. It was such fun. A very well-organised and written event, brilliantly delivered by Lydia who really engaged with a room full of people she had never met before. The story played out very well, and with only some getting \”whodunnit\”. Everyone there got into the spirit and roles and with no one knowing who had ’dunnit’ until the very end. I highly recommend Red Herring Games to everyone, for every kind of event.

Thanks, it was great! The team really enjoyed the event.

Firstly I want to say a massive thank you to Jo, she was a great help throughout!

We had fun, especially considering we had to hold our event remotely. The group who had Jules as their actor really enjoyed their experience, she was engaging and helped the team really get into character.

Fantastic evening! The food, hotel rooms, dining, service and without a doubt the acting/plot were fantastic. Please pass on my regards to everyone involved in making last night a success.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the Murder Mystery yesterday. It was a pleasure working with you, feedback from the team about the event has been really fantastic. I m so pleased you used some of our wording/phrases. David did a great job in including them in his script, it felt more personal and created lots of laughs.

I’ll have no hesitation pointing people in your direction who are looking for a fun activity with their team.
