Booked for Birthday party for kids

Dana run a Betrayers party for my 11 year old daughter and around 20 of her friends for 2.5 hours. They all loved the game and greatly enjoyed the party!

Booked for Private party

We had a brilliant murder mystery evening to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday. The evening went really smoothly and Phil kept us all on track and helped to prompt us with our characters and information we needed to share on the evening. He was also very discreet when we all sat and ate dinner and his timings were very helpful to enable us to plan the different courses. We have tried similar evenings without a host and this was so much better! Everyone had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend Phil if you are thinking of hosting an event too.

Booked for Birthday party

What a great evening with Phil running our murder mystery event for my husbands 50th birthday! Everyone loved it and we laughed so much. Phil kept the story running and really made it authentic. He was also very professional and helpful in the run up and organisation. I was particularly impressed with the invitations and info sent to all my guests individually via email. Highly recommended for an event with a difference and to give everyone a common interest to be involved in. Thanks Phil!

Booked for Birthday party

Such a brilliant evening with Andy and his team! Don’t want to give too much away because the element of surprise made this even better but they came to host the main event for my 30th birthday party with 60 guest and it was brilliant. I was made aware the show would be interactive but I was blown away but how interactive it all was and how well they handled some drunk heckling throughout! Prior to the event communication couldn’t have been stronger and they catered to every request/need - They also gave a selection of shows to pick from and advised what would be best to incorporate some fancy dress which added to the excitement and brilliance of the night Will definitely be using them again when we get the opportunity!!

Booked for Birthday party

Amber and Jessica of Nobody's Fool Mystery games helped create a spectacular evening for my birthday party. I loved the warmth and positive energy they brought to the event in addition to a top-notch murder mystery game experience. They really thought through all of the details and were generous with their time in advance of the event. I enjoyed the fact that they came in fancy dress to help set the mood. They struck the right balance between guiding the event and leaving us alone to enoy ourselves. I highly recommend using them!
