Red Herring Games

Interactive Mystery Scripts

These mysteries are written so that they can be run using just 2 “fully in the know” cast who can work “script in hand” all evening. They are designed to include the audience in suspect roles, and include roles for 6 members of the audience who read out the scripts “Script in hand” while the rest of the audience are given pre-scripted questions to ask them and evidence to review during the event. As the 6 audience members who play the suspects also aren’t told who the murderer is, they can still join in with the other guests guessing whodunnit. This style of games are perfect for groups who already know each other and see their colleagues and friends in different roles, they also work exceptionally well with strangers and are specifically designed for entertaining groups of 12-80 guests.

This format of game was developed specifically for our events services but by popular request a selection of scripts are now also available to purchase for DIY events.

You will need to print a lot of game materials for this event to work. Including 6 suspect booklets, guest information, evidence (full colour), questions and answer sheets.
