Event Features.
THE EXPERIENCE
A crime has been committed. Everyone at this table is a suspect.
Every guest takes on a character — a name, a backstory, a set of secrets, and an agenda. Over the course of the evening the group gathers clues, questions each other, and builds a case, all while trying to keep their own part in the story hidden.
At the end of the event, one person is revealed as the killer. The alibis unravel. The secrets come out. Everything changes when you find out who it was — and who in your team had been quietly covering for them all evening.
HOW IT WORKS
The format.
-
Guests receive character packs on arrival — name, backstory, secrets, and objectives.
-
A facilitator introduces the crime and runs the event throughout.
-
Guests interact, gather clues, and make accusations across multiple rounds.
-
The event closes with a final accusation and a full reveal.
-
Available as an evening only, or as the culmination of a full day event.
-
Suitable for groups of 8 to 100 at any suitable indoor venue.
TWO OPTIONS
Evening Only
Arrive for drinks. Into character. Run the mystery. Reveal and close. Typically three to four hours.
Full Day & Evening
Combine The Guilty Party with activities during the day. The mystery begins at evening drinks and runs through dinner to the reveal. A complete event in a single package.
Every guest receives a sealed character envelope. The seal is broken when the mystery begins. What's inside stays secret — until the reveal.
THE VENUE
Your venue or ours.
The Guilty Party runs at any suitable indoor venue — castle, country house, hotel, or private dining room. The atmosphere of the space does half the work.
Bring us to your venue, or we can source one. We work with a range of period properties and private dining venues across the UK.
