A Beautiful evening. The ideal venue. Fine food. Fun company. Everything is perfect... until... There's been an 'orrible hincident' at The Mudcastle! The only people present are the hosts (it couldn't be them); staff (beyond reproach, of course); the victim and ... you. Inspector Horace Hound and PC Plod of the Upper Upper Moutere and Districts East Police investigate. There are clues. There are suspects. There is evidence. Inspector Hound will ask your assistance to solve this difficult case but be warned - the evidence will point to someone in this very room. Your friend? Your partner? The person sitting next to you? You?

 

"Just a note to thank you both (and your actors) for a fun evening last Thursday. The food was fabulous, atmosphere warm and friendly and I know erveryone enjoyed themselves. Thank you again."

Jenny Leith

Department of Justice Adjudicators

 

" I would like to congratulate everyone involved for a thoroughly enjoyable murder mystery event, from the venue and decorations to the friendly and professional staff.
