A Christmas Carol Catastrophe

Christmas in a traditional country village. What could be nicer? A smattering of snow, a happy festive band of carollers, an after singing party in a cosy warm country home with a roaring open fire and a bubbling pot of mulled wine.

Unfortunately, this seasonal good-will-to-all-men came to an abrupt and rather gruesome end this evening when the body of Ivor Kracker was discovered in a bloody mess on the floor of the lounge.

One of the jolly carol singers is responsible for this tragedy, but the question is… who?

How it works:

Multi-room events are designed to be run in multiple rooms in a venue and are a great way of showing off your premises, or getting maximum footfall through what would otherwise be too small a venue for a traditional murder mystery evening.

These events have proved very popular with the guests, as it encourages them to interrogate the suspects and locate clues hidden around the building. There are usually seven to eight cast, one murder occurs before the evening and the crime scene is set up in one of the rooms in the venue.

We usually suggest a roving buffet as the guests move between rooms, but some venues prefer to have a formal two course meal mid-way through the evening.
