About this Event

What began as a celebratory Royal Visit of Louise Caroline Alberta, her husband John Campbell - 9th Duke of Argyll, and their entourage has ended in tragedy. A daring thief has struck, priceless jewels have vanished, a body lies in the corridor, and the entire party has been locked down in a lounge to await questioning.


The Crime:

Outside, a serene winter snowfall blankets the city, masking the bloody reality within. What began as a grand reception for the Duke and Princess Louise Caroline Alberta has unraveled into a nightmare.

It started with a theft: the Royal jewels vanished from the suite, and the police were summoned to investigate. But before the ink could dry on the initial report, the stakes turned deadly - the body of Sir Reginald Astor was discovered lifeless on the ground floor.

With a killer on the loose and the Royal suite declared a crime scene, the high-profile guests have been ushered into lounge for their safety. Now, trapped together in the gilded room, the veneer of politeness is cracking. Fingers are being pointed, accusations are flying, and it is becoming terrifyingly clear that the danger isn't lurking in the shadows outside - it is sitting right there amongst them. Can you decipher the clues and solve the mystery?


Your Role as a Detective:

This is a fully interactive dining experience. Throughout a sumptuous three-course meal, you and your table will work as a team of detectives. You will be presented with clues, analyze the crime scene, and get the chance to interrogate the key suspects, who will be dining amongst you!

Some lucky (or unlucky!) guests will be assigned roles as the main suspects upon arrival (with consent)—complete with character backgrounds and secrets to keep. Don't worry, it requires no acting experience, just a willingness to have fun! Our professional actors will serve as your guides for the evening, ensuring the story unfolds and the suspense builds until the final, shocking revelation.


How the Evening Unfolds:

  • Act 1: The Incident. Starter Served. The key figures are introduced, but the festivities are shattered by the discovery of the crime. As you enjoy your appetizer, open the Case Dossier on your table to review the initial evidence.
  • Act 2: The Motives & Interrogation. Main Course Served. While you dine, new secrets are exposed. The Sergeant reveals key pieces of evidence found on the suspects. The suspects are cornered. This is your chance to question them directly as they move through the room. Listen to their alibis, spot the lies, and cast your vote for the killer.
  • Act 3: The Final Revelation. Over dessert, your team will submit its final accusation. Who is the thief? Who the murderer? What was their motive? The true culprit is revealed. A prize will be awarded to the sharpest detective who cracks the 120-year-old case!


What Your Ticket Includes:

  • A full, three-course dinner.
  • A thrilling, two-and-a-half-hour interactive M**der mystery experience guided by our professional actors.
  • All clue packets and materials for your investigation.
  • An opportunity to be chosen for a guest role as a primary suspect.
  • A prize for the winning detective team!


Dress Code:

Vintage Elegance / Smart Casual. While not mandatory, guests are encouraged to dress for the occasion! Think 1900s elegance, feathers, pearls, or simply your best "New Year, New Mystery" attire.


Tickets are limited for this exclusive engagement. Secure your table and help us close this case once and for all.
