Who-dun.it, anyway?

Be the mastermind behind a bespoke murder mystery.

You provide the suspects. Our agency does the rest: assigns each their role, furnishes the crime, and manages the entire evening. You don't need to lift a finger — just play your part.

From our case files

Every suspect arrives briefed.

After the RSVP deadline, each guest receives a dossier — their character, their secrets, and their goals.

Case File No. 001

Vivienne Marlowe

Charming, deliberate, and rarely where she claims to have been.

Vivienne has brokered the sale of half the significant private collections in Europe. She travels constantly, speaks four languages, and has never once been caught in a lie — only in a contradiction.

Secrets

The provenance of one recent sale does not bear close scrutiny. You are hoping nobody looks.

What you know

You know that Constance Harlow has been quietly liquidating assets she doesn't officially own. You also know that Miles Pemberton was present at a meeting last spring that he has since claimed never took place.

Goals

Conclude a private transaction before the evening ends. Leave before anyone compares notes.

Attire

All black. One striking piece of jewellery — possibly borrowed.

Case File No. 002

Dr. Reginald Fitch

Trusted by everyone. Possibly too trusted.

Dr. Fitch has practiced in the county for twenty years. He is the sort of man people confide in — at dinner parties, in corridors, outside locked rooms. He has never once revealed a confidence. What he does with what he knows is another matter.

Secrets

You have been filing certain reports with certain inaccuracies for the better part of a year. Nothing that has hurt anyone, you tell yourself.

What you know

You know that Miles Pemberton's recent good fortune has a source he has not disclosed to anyone. You also know something about Lady Agnes Stirling's health that she shared in confidence — and that her husband does not know.

Goals

Make it to Tuesday without anyone comparing notes.

Attire

Respectable tweed. One button missing — he noticed this morning.

The process

How we operate.

I

Submit the guest list

Forward us the names of your guests. Nothing more is required of you at this stage.

II

The case is assembled

Once your RSVP deadline passes, our agency prepares the full mystery and dispatches a personalised dossier to each confirmed guest — their character, their secrets, their goals.

III

The evening unfolds

No script to follow. No hosting experience required. Arrive as a suspect and let the investigation take care of itself.

The record shows

Not that kind of mystery.

Someone solves it in the first ten minutes. The script has nowhere left to go.

The host spends the evening managing the game instead of playing it.

Half the table hasn't read their character card. The other half has memorised it.

The predetermined ending arrives. Nobody particularly cared.

Our cases are constructed differently. There is no predetermined solution — no script to abandon, no ending to arrive at prematurely. The investigation goes wherever your guests take it, which is invariably somewhere more interesting.
