Big Birthdays
Celebrating in style? Looking for something special? You’re in the right place. For nearly two decades we’ve been delivering bespoke and exiting events for big birthdays and special occasions around the globe.
We stock a huge range of off the shelf events ready to go, but don’t let that stop you. If you have the budget, we can tailor the event to suit your guests and the birthday boy or girl themselves!
What options are available?
At Red Herring Games we can provide a death to order by customising an existing game in our catalogue or writing a bespoke murder mystery game just for you.
Tailor-made games needn’t break the bank. With our in-house writing team we can help you make simple modifications to an existing game e.g. changing the name of the mystery or adding a different photograph for a nominal fee! Just contact us for details.

What our customers say
Booked Via Poptop - A Christmas Cruel
We all absolutely loved the event. The team were so surprised. The actors and the suspects walked in singing a Christmas carol and the team were so confused haha. Really enjoyable experience and will absolutely consider again.
Immersive Theatre Event
On behalf of DFDS and our guests, I would like to say a big thank to Red Herring‘s Emma and the team of fabulous actors for entertaining us with Felons, Flappers and Foul Play we held t The Ashbourne Hotel 12th May. Many of our guests had no idea what to expect, but from arriving at the hotel bar when the entertainment started, our guests were fully involved and all named as suspects.
This continued until the final decision from each team was taken out of who dunnit! and then the continued discussions of“I told you so!" afterwards.
The flow of the evening was very well set up within each course of food and interaction with the guests throughout created great entertainment. The Ashbourne Hotel supplied great food and a first class service, overall a very successful night and great fun, something to be recommended for an informal night for companies and their customers.
The Curious case of Mr Clarkson's murder
Viv and John came to host the murder mystery at our holiday cottage. They were lovely people and made our event a most memorable evening. There were 19 of us and each one of the family loved taking part in this interactive evening. It was so much fun. We highly recommend them and Red Herring events. Thanks guys! Kind regards Deborah and Joe.
Virtual Interactive Mystery
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.
Virtual Detective
We made the right call by having you guys as the actors to walk us through the script.
It went really well and I loved it! I have already received feedback from the others that they loved it too.
Thanks to you and to the actors who played the part very well!
Amazon - Murder Mystery
Our team was looking for a way to get together for an activity this past year, and we found Red Herring Events. They hosted an interactive murder mystery for our team and it was such a great experience! All of the actors were fantastic and kept everyone engaged. The team had a wonderful time, highly recommend!
