Booked for Christmas party

We had an incredible evening at our company Christmas party, thanks to Phil's outstanding facilitation. The 1920s theme was a hit, and despite the loud environment and the presence of 28 attendees, Phil ensured everyone could hear him clearly. He skillfully managed side conversations to keep the clues flowing and made sure key individuals interacted at the right moments. His preparation with props and costumes added an extra layer of fun, making the night even more memorable. Our company has been buzzing about the event ever since, and I highly recommend booking Phil for this type of party.

Booked for Birthday party

Fantastic evening with Phil hosting a murder mystery for my father's 80th birthday at my home. From booking to reveal it was a seamles process and a lot of fun for all of the family. Phil worked with the caterers to make sure the story fitted around each course and maximised everyone's time. We ranged in age from 8-80 with differing levels of initial commitment to the characters and everybody thouroughly enjoyed the evening! I would highly recomemend Phil and no doubt his wider team. Thank you - great fun!

Booked for Hen party

I hired Enigmatic Theatre for a hen party and they were excellent. The booking process was straightforward and Enigmatic were helpful, flexible, and charming. They made a seamless addition to the party and clearly knew how to read the room and play their parts accordingly. We chose the 1920’s murder mystery, which was great for a hen party as we also dressed up in 1920s outfits to set the scene. The actors provided entertainment and clues throughout our dinner and timed the escape room between courses. The acting was immersive and brought a lot of life (and murder!) to the party! If you are looking for a slightly different hen party activity, I definitely recommend this company!

Booked for Birthday party

Had an absolutely fantastic time at our murder mystery night hosted by Phil! From start to finish it was an engaging, immersive and an incredibly fun experience. Everyone got involved which made the whole event even better. There were laughs, suspense and plenty of great moments throughout the night. It was such a different and exciting thing to do, definitely a refreshing change from the usual nights out. The attention to detail and the way the mystery unfolded kept us all entertained. Can’t wait to do it again with a different theme. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and interactive evening!

Booked for Birthday party

We booked Phil for our Murder Mystery party for our dad’s 70th birthday party. We had a great evening and thoroughly enjoyed playing our characters! Phil was excellent and we were impressed with how well he quickly worked out who were the more confident players among us and who were happy to take on more of an ‘observer’ role; everyone got to participate yet no-one felt they were put on the spot. We had a brilliant evening- thank you Phil!
