Dinner party style 45 games

An adaptation of a dinner party kit, designed for a DIY evening. If you've run a dinner party before, this is the easiest format to understand, because it runs in exactly the same way. The cast can be guests, as there's no rehearsal, and nobody's booklet tells them they're the murderer, so everyone can take part.

Interactive 10 games

Run by just two people who know the plot. Six guests play the suspects, reading script in hand, while everyone else gets pre-scripted questions to ask them and evidence to review. Perfect for groups who already know each other, and it works exceptionally well with strangers too.

A cast performs and everyone else plays detective, so one script runs a whole event. They’re priced for events, the way hotels and companies run them commercially, which is why they cost more than a dinner party game. Running one for a charity or community group? You get 65% off.

Multi-room 17 games

Not a sit-down event. Great for fundraisers, small B&Bs and large hotels that want to make the most of their space and invite as many people as possible. Guests move between rooms and really get into the interrogation.
