Baker Street Irregulars (The world’s most challenging murder mystery dinner)

Guests are given the opportunity to test their powers of deduction by solving cases of the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes! We have a variety of cases detailing some of the most dastardly crimes ever investigated. From their initial introduction, during cocktails, to the theme of the night and details of the crime, guests will have the duration of the meal to discuss, investigate and solve their particular case. The host for the evening will provide all the necessary requirements, from street maps of old London (circa 1880) to transcripts of suspects interviews. He may even throw in the odd red herring to any team getting too far ahead of the others.

 

The Mystery Of Room 313 (Murder Dinner)

Austere 1951 and at the Rillington Hotel. one of the guests has met an unfortunate end, the end, in fact of a very sharp knife. The problem is, he was found in a room locked from the inside. The staff of the Hotel are all under suspicion. Mr Goosepocket, the manager, Mrs Blooph his assistant, Hectorina Prodwell the maid, and the deaf chef Mr Phuffler, presided over by a member of the local Police.

 

The Enigma Of the Pyramids (Murder Dinner)

The stifling heat of the Valley of the Kings, Egypt has only served to arouse the passions of the Mounteasy expedition who are searching for the tomb of Rhamalot II. Hector Hosebeast was the victim , and all the members of the expedition are suspects. Lord Montgomery Mounteasy and his ‘friend’ Phluphy Phlushette. The camp manager, Toi Lipshitz and even the moody and brooding Ken Henbison. Inspector Harted from the Cairo police seems to be totally mystified.

 

The Curse Of Hangman’s Drop (Murder Dinner)

Set in a Golf Club in the present day, The president has come to an untimely and horrific end during the annual Captains Cup competition. Egnell Pump, the club pro is under suspicion as is Linklaeter Spasm and his wife Hermione, and Mr and Mrs Swallocks. Surely these upstanding pillars of the community could not have had a hand in this foul deed, and what is so special about the 17th hole, Hangman’s Drop?

 

To Stage A Death (Murder Dinner)

A travelling theatre company makes a grisly discovery just before curtain up on the opening night of their new production of Burke and Hare. It must have been one of the company, but how was it done, and who done it? The cast are indeed a strange bunch of people, but one of them is strange enough to commit this murder. Can you put your finger on the culprit? Who could have ended the life of Siegfried Solomon the producer, but, more to the point how was it done? A puzzle indeed.

 

Circus Of Horrors (Murder Dinner)

Appalling horror at Sir Robert Fosdyke’s Traveling circus. The great ejaculator has been blown to bits with his own cannon during the matinee performance. Kolic the clown seems upset, as does Madam Tzarina the mysterious Gypsy fortune teller. Its up to you to interview the ringmaster Ury Fosdyke and the ‘Mighty Atom’ and’ Lady of Rubber,’ Brenda Loosefarthing. See if you can pick up the pieces of this 1930’s mystery. It couldn’t have been the owners of Hobbs End Hall, Easley or Gingold Breastwork….. could it? Whoever it was seems to have committed that most elusive of all sins. The impossible and perfect crime. Or is it?

 

That’s Amorté (Murder Dinner)

OK, OK Alright already. The Wedding of Anthony and Tina may be a Mafia affair but who would have thought that Don Cannelloni would be murdered at his own sons wedding? Least of all his number two Guiseppe ‘The Belly’ Linguini. Perhaps the answer lies in the old adage ‘He who lives by the sword dies by the sword’ Question these suspects at your own risk!

 

Hacked To Death (Murder Dinner)

In this modern fast-forward world of IT and computer wizardry it was perhaps inevitable that eventually someone would commit a murder using a PC! Would anybody notice the demise of a nerd? Will the investigating officer be obliged to wear an anorak?

 

The Haunting Of Howling Hollow (Murder Weekend, Overnight Murder & Murder Dinner)

It’s 1888 and Jack the Ripper is abroad in London, but Sopwith and Ertwyn Neatbunch have their own problems. Mhorwhen Sniffitt has been found brutally murdered in their house and this is affecting Molly Sniffitt and enraging her governess the formidable Miss Armitage Shanks. Even the local magistrate Ogston Oatpork is baffled.

 

The Horror Of Feichie Moor (Murder Weekend, Overnight Murder and Murder Dinner)

In the vast wild reaches of the Highlands of Scotland lies the isolated Feichie Moor Castle. In this lonely and desolate spot in the year of 1898 a foul murder has been perpetrated. The Laird, Keich McFeichie is suspected, as are the other guests at dinner that night. Flech McScratt and his wife Dolly, and Mistress Futtrett the local schoolteacher. The solution lies at the feet of Pat McGroyne the county sheriff and, of course, you the invited detectives.

 

A Wilderness of Mirrors (A Mystery Dinner)
This mystery has no murder but is still full of sinuous paths, veiled secrets and dark intrigues. Set in 1889 a phantom-like thief has stolen the fabulous ‘Jewell In India’s Passage’ from Hobbs End Hall during an evening soiree. You cannot possibly suspect young Abaris Feende, can you? Or the aged butler, Spasm or surely it couldn’t have been the owners of Hobbs End Hall, Easley or Gingold Breastwork….. could it? Whoever it was seems to have committed that most elusive of all sins. The impossible and perfect crime. Or is it?

A Flare For Murder (Murder Dinner)
WARNING! THIS MURDER MYSTERY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR MINORS OR PEOPLE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION.

Free love, free speech, free everything in the swinging sixties and seventies. To say that this murder is a mystery would be the understatement of the year. The police are not even sure what killed this member of the fading rock band Dainty June. There is a mixture of sex, drugs, rock and roll, intrigue, jealousy and hate, all rolled up in a tangled web of deceit bound to baffle the cleverest detective, even Lilli Chan (Charlie’s daughter).
