Overview

Traitors Themed Murder Mystery

Step into the shadows of deceit and treachery as you immerse yourself in a traitor’s event styled murder mystery. With whispers of conspiracy and betrayal echoing through the dimly lit corridors, each participant becomes both detective and suspect in a riveting tale of mystery and deception. As an exciting alternative to our themed team building event, Saboteurs, this experience invites your group into a world of cunning strategy and hidden agendas.

In the year 1954, a gathering has been arranged by Peregrine Worsfold, who tragically passed away in January. Among the attendees are his estranged son, his former secretary and mistress, a former business associate, and a soldier with whom he shared wartime experiences. They've all been enticed to this meeting under the pretense of an inheritance from Worsfold's estate. However, little do they know that one among them is the perpetrator behind Worsfold's untimely demise. 

About

The Event Format

We kick off the evening with pre-dinner drinks in a private dining room, giving your guests a chance to mingle while a sinister murder unfolds just out of sight…

Once your guests are seated for dinner, our professional actors will move through the room, sharing their versions of the chilling events. But who can you trust? Everyone has a motive, but who has an alibi.

With detailed costumes and realistic props, you'll be fully immersed in the mystery. To end the evening, each table will put their sleuthing skills to the test, guessing the murderer, motive, and method.

We offer a range of exciting scripts, from contemporary settings to golden-age crime fiction or the glamour of the roaring twenties. Speak with us about your preferences!

Join us at a venue of your choice for an evening of suspense, suspicion, and strategy, where the stakes are high and every move could be your last. Are you ready to uncover the secrets that lie within the traitor's den?

How it works

How does Traitors Murder Mystery work?

Traitors Murder Mystery is an evening team building event for 10 to 150 people, combining a 1950s murder mystery with Traitors-style deception, where one guest secretly knows who the murderer is. It lasts 2 to 3 hours. Here's how it runs.

  1. The story

    It's 1954, and a gathering has been arranged by the late Peregrine Worsfold. His son, former secretary, a business associate and a wartime comrade have all been lured by the promise of an inheritance.

  2. Open your envelope

    As dinner begins, every guest receives an envelope containing a clue. One envelope reveals the identity of the murderer.

  3. Unravel the mystery

    Guests work together to piece the clues together, with our professional actors bringing the story to life.

  4. Hide in plain sight

    While everyone else hunts for the truth, one guest must conceal what they know.

  5. Name the murderer

    Can the guests uncover the culprit before the evening is out?

FAQs

Traitors Murder Mystery: Frequently Asked Questions

The evening starts with pre-dinner drinks in a private dining room, giving everyone an opportunity to mingle before the murder takes place. Guests then sit down for dinner while the professional actors begin revealing their versions of what happened.
