Peril on the Palatine Express is a highly interactive Murder Mystery experience.

From start to finish Red Herring were on the ball. Communication and attentiveness were both fantastic. Shout out to Kieran and Alexandra for all the hard work they put into this event. We all had a fantastic time and I will definitely be recommending the company to friends and family. Thank you so much!

Phil did a murder mystery event for my 10 year old daughter’s birthday. He managed to keep their excitement and interest up for three hours, which is no mean feet. The event was well planned and executed and everyone went home happy.

Great actors and they helps make a fantastic event. Simple communication, and credit to the 3 actors as for days afterwards my guests were discussing what the others were doing between appearances (they thought there had been 5 actors!)
