What our customers say
Detective Event
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.
Virtual Detective Event
Thanks, it was great! The team really enjoyed the event.
Detective Event
Thank you again for yesterday, the activity was spot on by being a challenge, encouraged teamwork and was great fun! We’ve had loads of positive feedback from the teams.
All in all it was considered a great afternoon, some even went as far as to say it was the best we’ve organised, and in the past we’ve arranged
activities such as The Apprentice, Dragons Den, physical challenges, treasure hunts and Alton Towers etc. etc. so thank you and well done!,
Virtual Event Booking
We highly recommend the fantastic Red Herring Games UK team including Jo Smedley, Games Designer & Keiron Boswell for helping us plan the event for 20 of us online and David Warren for hosting the event. Thank you for sending us clips.
Interactive Mystery
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.
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!

Things we’ve helped with in the past
- A themed murder mystery evening the night before weddings so all the relatives on both sides of the family can get to know each other without struggling for small talk (thus taking the pressure off the bridge and groom and the two parents).
- DIY or fully event managed murder mystery evenings for the Hen and Stag parties.
- Custom written getting to know you micro mysteries which will take the length of the time it takes the photos to sort out at weddings, and include some family references to give everyone a giggle. Vogue Ballroom is your perfect spot for the fairytale wedding ball.
- Custom written mini murder mystery involving the bridal party as suspects to lighten up the wedding reception instead of the speeches. (A great idea for those who’ve lost someone special in their lives, whose absence would be more noticeable and sorely missed during the reception’s standard speech formula.)
- A custom written murder mystery to break the ice as everyone arrives at the wedding venue.
- A small mystery to keep the kids entertained during the meal.
- An engagement scenario to help someone propose!
Don’t murder the in-laws
While we usually suggest it’s not a good idea to murder the mother-in-law as part of the best man’s speech, we are here to help you whatever your ideas.
You tell us what you need, and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
We’ve done many weddings and so far we’ve not had a request we can’t handle!
