Murder Mystery - Art Deco Murders
Art Deco Murders is a murder mystery company with a difference. The themes for the mysteries are set in the art deco period and are aimed at corporate through to private events for up to 80 guests, set over a meal, a buffet, lunch, a day’s team building or a full weekend.
An Event to Suit Your Requirements
We have several themes available at Art Deco Murders. Each theme is available in different formats to suit your budget. All formats are hosted by professional actors working with an actor assistant or four professional actors depending on the client’s budget.
In order to assist the smooth running of your Murder Mystery, we are pleased to be able to offer you this brief guide, which sets out how the event will run.
All of our Murder Mysteries are set in 1929 in the Art Deco Period and the various plots all take place in the fictional village of Thymely over Actin.
Normally the event takes place over a three-course dinner unless otherwise arranged. There are two basic formats, the Hosted Format and the Four Actor Format as well as our Weekend Events. All Four Actor and Weekend events are co-ordinated by our own Event Manager who will be in attendance at the venue throughout and any enquiries or concerns should be addressed to him/her.
THE HOSTED FORMAT for up to 40 Guests
This utilises two actors who portray the Detective and his WPC.
During Pre-Dinner Drinks
The guests are greeted by the actors and given a notebook and pen. They are also given a Character Brief containing a new name and a short sentence describing their new character, as they are all possible suspects in the forthcoming mystery. The host will introduce the story and ask the guests to circulate amongst each other and note down as much as possible about their fellow “villagers” as they can. This should take approximately 20 minutes.
The host will then take them into dinner and give a brief introduction outlining the story and what is expected of them during the evening. Starter is then served.
Between Starter and Main Course and Main Course and Dessert
The actors will present the next part of the story and bring any new information. This should take approximately 10 minutes on each occasion. Whilst the guests are eating, the actors will circulate to assist them with their deliberations and collect their completed answers.
After Dessert
Coffee (if included) can be served straight away. The actors will then present the dénouement and unmask the killer! Prizes are awarded for the best and worst sleuths and for the best limerick (non-compulsory) of the evening.
THE FOUR ACTOR FORMAT for up to around 80 guests
This utilises four actors who portray the Detective and the characters.
During Pre-Dinner Drinks
The actors greet the guests and introduce themselves in character and circulate amongst their fellow “villagers”. Depending on the scenario, a “death” will occur or the characters will inform the guests as to the background to the recent murder.
The guests will then be taken into dinner when the Detective arrives and gives a brief introduction outlining the story and what is expected of them during the evening. This should take approximately 15 minutes. Starter is then served.
Between Starter and Main Course and Main Course and Dessert
The actors will present the next part of the story and bring any new information. This should take approximately 15 - 20 minutes on each occasion. Whilst the guests are eating, the actors will circulate for questioning and assist them with their deliberations. The Detective will then collect their completed answers.
After Dessert
Coffee (if included) can be served straight away. The actors will then present the dénouement and the Detective will unmask the killer! Prizes are awarded for the best and worst sleuths and for the best limerick (non-compulsory) of the evening.
Please note the breaks required between the courses when arranging your event with the venue, although we will always liaise with the venue staff to arrange timings on arrival.
THE WEEKEND FORMAT for up to around 80 Guests
We offer two different formats for our Weekend Murder Mysteries to suit numbers, budgets or preferences, both available for up to around 80 Guests.
The Short Weekend
This runs from Saturday Afternoon to Sunday Lunchtime. The Guests are met by the actors and a short scenario takes place with the main action occurring over dinner on the Saturday night. This is left with a "Cliff-hanger" overnight for final evidence and deliberations the following morning. Everyone then assembles before lunch on the Sunday for the denouement and prize giving for the best and worst sleuths!
The Long Weekend
This runs from Friday Afternoon to Sunday Lunchtime and is similar to the shorter version but is extended over two evenings and can incorporate some form of related activity on the Saturday such as a treasure hunt around the locale leading to clues. If this is not required, then the guests normally have the majority of the Saturday to enjoy themselves before the serious sleuthing begins again over dinner. Once again, everyone assembles before lunch on the Sunday for the denouement and prize giving for the best and worst sleuths!
Whichever format you choose for your Murder Mystery, please note that for events that run over one evening, we will require you to provide the company on arrival at the venue with an adequate secure changing room suitable for five adults as close as possible to the performing area and refreshments to include at least mixed sandwiches for five people to cater for vegan and non, 2 bowls of crisps/chips, 2 litres of water, pot of tea and a pot of coffee, normally for 6.30pm unless otherwise arranged. Weekend events will require accommodation and meals for the company of 5 adults.
We hope you have an enjoyable event and look forward to seeing you.
