Only Fools and Corpes!

No Income Tax, no VAT, no money back, no gaurantee, if you want goods and don’t ask questions – then the Eric Rotter is your man.  Whether it’s faulty watches, blow up dolls, briefcases, doors or dodgy plonk – Eric has what you need, or more usually what you don’t need until he starts his witty sales patter and wheeler dealing.

Usually it’s all very Q T and on the hush hush, but when a neighbour calls the police as they fear a break-in, and a dead body is discovered in the Rotter’s flat, the family may all get far more attention then they ever wanted.

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!)

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.

Eric Rotter – Wheeler-dealing market trader.
Genuine to the core and full of optimism, Eric is a loveable rogue with the gift of the gab.

Johnny Rotter – The younger, taller and accident-prone half-brother of Eric Rotter.
Lean and gullible, Johnny has never really grown out of his petulant teenage years and can still be found sulking in the corner at times.

Flipper – Road sweeper.
Rarely without his trusty broom, Flipper is a man of few words and even fewer brain cells.

Rochelle – “Significant other” of Eric.
A failed actress, Rochelle brings a bit of class to the Rotter household.  At least, Eric likes to think so.

Pandora Trotter  – Johnny’s wife.
Intelligent and slightly spoiled, Pandora has breeding, poise and all the common sense Johnny lacks.

Darlene Royce – Wife of a used car salesman.
A trophy wife with a desire for family, Darlene is often left unfulfilled.
