Murder on the Disorientated Express

The Disorientated Express, probably one of the most luxurious trains in the world, is always fully booked.

Even now in 20– her luxury Pullman coaches are packed with the travelling rich and famous making their way from Istanbul to Constantinople.

The train has always excelled in reliability and punctuality, but today all that is about toe change.

The Michelin starred chef, Julien Stix, has been discovered in his galley – dead.

How it works:

A participative murder mystery evening is an evening with a difference.

Rather than going out for a meal and being “entertained” by our professional team of actors, here YOU are the suspects!

Participative murder mysteries are great fun for those who love to “ham it up”. If you are chosen as a suspect on the evening you’ll be given your character booklet for the night which will contain any lines you must deliver. You’ll also be given information that your character knows about other suspects and background information you will be revealing about your character throughout the evening. If you need any props we’ll provide them too, all you need to do is turn up, in costume and be prepared for a great night out!

You will be led through the mystery by an inspector, who will be providing you with case information as the evening progresses, as well as helping you all to get in the mood. At the end of the night the inspector will also deliver a summary before you have to guess which of you did the dirty deed. Finally, at the end of the evening, the inspector will reveal all by providing the solution and arresting the guilty party! (Don’t worry – all arrested guests are returned!)

This Event is Rated:

Teen

This Event Contains:

Content that may be suitable for ages 13 and older.

Including:
Murder – One murder has been undertaken, violence is suggested.
Suggestive Themes – Mild provocative references or materials.

Characters in the game:

We always provide two cast with participative murder mysteries. To facilitate and lead the guests through the plot.

The roles of the cast vary depending on the genders of the cast we use. Typically you’ll have one “inspector” type role, and one supporting character who may pose as a waitress/waiter, a member of the general public or an assistant detective.

The cast will start the evening by selecting members of the audience to become the evening’s suspects and briefing them on their role within the evening. Sometimes, the cast are pre-selected by the party who book us. Both work well.
