About Us
Murders Most Horrid are a small group of murder mystery lovers who have been hosting immersive murder mystery weekends for over ten years. Each of us has become involved after having attended as guests and wanting more! Every member of the team is in it for the enjoyment and thrill, and as it’s not a job for any of us, we can keep our costs down whilst producing a quality event, as we’re not seeking to maximise income. We write and host each event and tailor it to the venue and to our guests; you’ll never attend the same event twice. We select our venues carefully for atmosphere, location and quality and we limit the number of events created each year to maximise their impact. We don’t believe there is anybody out there hosting events in the same way as us; fully immersive and interactive, you won’t be sitting there watching actors perform for you, you’re well and truly part of the event!
We’re approachable and friendly and love to talk all things Murder Mystery! If you have any questions or want to know more, drop us a line using the Enquiry Form
Format Sample
Due to recent criminal activity within the hotel grounds, detectives are required to attend investigational sessions, to establish those responsible for committing such terrible crimes. We therefore wish to provide you with this information regarding the weekend. This will improve your “Detective Expertise And Development”, in other words … you’re D.E.A.D.
During the weekend, you will work as part of a small team investigating events if, as and when they unfold. You will need to gather information by following clues and interrogating suspects, in an effort to recognise and identify those responsible. Keep this information within your team, as detectives in other teams are watching and listening.
On Sunday morning, a team member, nominated by yourselves, will then be required to present a verdict on behalf of your team, of exactly who is responsible… for what… and why.
You must sit together in your teams in all investigational sessions, however, we strongly encourage you to mix freely and sit with other detectives at breakfast, evening meals and refreshment breaks, as this will assist you in obtaining more clues and information, which may or may not help you to piece together any mysterious events.
The more facts you uncover, the more chance you will have of detecting any criminal element.
Remember, your Murder Mystery Weekend is a non-costumed event, so …
Beware … Murderers may be amongst us!
