Booked for Corporate Function

What a fantastic evening! We hired Phil to run a Murder Mystery party for our Halloween work event. From the start, Phil was incredibly organised and patient with our arrangements, and throughout the night, he stayed committed to the party and kept things flowing for us. Thank you so much to Phill for making our Halloween one to remember! We would definitely recommend for any party or event!

Booked for Birthday party

The whole experience was excellent. Sam was wonderful and his team played their parts perfectly The interaction with my guests was brilliant and I highly recommend them for a night of something different

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!
