Booked for Christmas party

I am so pleased we discovered Phil. We used Phil for our Christmas party. We would normally just go for a meal but decided to do something a little different this year and hired Phil to run a murder mystery event. I am so pleased we did! Everyone enjoyed themselves and Phil kept us on track. He made the event extremely enjoyable. Thank you Phil!

Booked for Celebration

We had an absolutely brilliant Murder Mystery dinner. Phil was great throughout. He asked for info about the guests before hand, and then emailed info to everyone about their character a week before. During the Murder Mystery he was a such a good detective and made sure to include everyone in the game, but was sensitive in not to putting too much focus on those who weren't as confident in speaking / acting. I would definitely use Phil again for another MM evening.

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

We had a thoroughly enjoyable experience; we held our murder mystery event before dinner, and it was a great opener to the evening. Fantastic!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
