We needs a murder mystery for 18 people and stumbled across Red Herring. Not only did we get all the help we needed but we also had the game personalised to be based around the air BnB mansion we had hired for the event to make it a little more special. I was amazed at the cost to have this done and the speed they produced it. Every aspect of the murder mystery was perfect. I can't rate these guys enough.

What a fabulous night!! My Hen Party was A-MAZ-ING!!! Everyone got in the spirit with some 'Brill' 80s costumes for the 'Smashed Hits Poll Winners Murder' game I chose. Very user friendly, with everything you need to get the party going. Can't wait for another excuse to hold my next great Murder Mystery dinner party

Loads of fun. I still look back at my circus-themed murder mystery party with fond memories. It is clear that a lot of work and care goes into their products.
