Murder mystery dinners - come in a variety of themes and always have at least 1 murder during the night to keep the guests entertained. With skilled actors and a fiendishly good plot - these games are enjoyed by all.

Multi-room murders - are great for CSI fans, large venues who want to show off their premises, or venues who are too small to make the murder mystery dinners cost effective but still want to provide a novel entertainment experience.

What a brilliant company. Last minute problem with change of numbers and they sent a revised version quickly and without drama. Clear instructions and support for the host. Everyone enjoyed themselves at our virtual office party. Highly recommended.

Recently attended a scottish themed murder mystery and had such a fantastic time. The actors were very good and food was delicious. The even had someone playing the bagpipes! Had such a great time!

I have just been to a Red Herring murder mystery at one of my local hotels. Being Halloween my friends and I were really looking forward to the evening. Sadly, it was dreadful! I understand there were supposed to be a group of actors where only one turned up. The whole event was lacking in everything it could lack in……. It wasn't made fun, interesting, there was little attempt from 'Red Herring' to interact with the guests and engage them in the event. Fortunately the guests who were happy to take part and be characters in the murder mystery '(and there were many of them) took part with enthusiasm and tried their best to get into the spirit of the evening. It was very disappointing!
Response : Hi Margaret, thank you so much for taking the time to get in touch. We were contacted by the hotel directly this weekend who explained the situation to us. I can only apologise. The actress we sent to fulfill our role this weekend was not up to our usual standard and as a result the event did not go as planned. We have been in touch with the hotel and offered a full reimbursement of our costs or the opportunity to use us again free of charge to rectify the experience for their guests. We've also offered to contact each customer affected directly, however have not as yet been passed the customer details who were impacted by this event. If you would like to email us directly to enable a direct apology and compensation that would be most welcome. We have always strived for excellent customer experiences and feel very badly let down ourselves by the actress we employed in this instance and would like to make it right for everyone affected.Moreexpand_more

I have never attended a murder mystery event before, other than the evenings hosted at home but enjoyed every minute of the evening in January, hosted by Red Herring Games. The actors were engaging and funny and knew the script from back to front and the whole evening ran like clockwork. I would definitely attend a Red Herring Games murder mystery evening again!

We have just attended the Death By Chocolate event at Kelham Hall. What an excellent evening. Fun, funny and well planned. We will definitely go to other events. Well done everyone.

Red herring games are truely exceptional and great value for money. They hosted a charity murder mystery for my local charity 24+1. The customer service was outstanding, they were always on hand during the planning to make sure the evening was a success, the quality of the cast was wonderful and the way they interacted with the dinner guests just made the evening. I have no hesitation in reccommending Red Herring Games to anyone in the future.

Having attended Red Herring's James Bond themed Murder Mystery ‘Quantum of Malice’ at The Ashbourne Hotel , I felt compelled to write to tell you how much our party enjoyed the event. Having spent most of my working life in Hospitality and doing a degree in Drama & Theatre before that, I was particularly impressed by the quality and professionalism show by both you and your team. The Script was flawless – intricate simplicity, delicately balancing humour with plot and carefully bending the stereotypes into new forms without compromising the characters. The Actors were exceptional – remaining faultlessly in character all evening, playing up to the guests and creating a seemingly-effortless rapport with the audience. Despite being massively off the mark with our solution, a fantastic time was had all around, with many other guests commenting how much of a great time they’d had and how much they cannot wait for your next event. We will actively recommend Red Herring Games as a source of great value, refreshingly different entertainment for a long time to come and we very much look forward to being at your next event!

We have attended several Red Herring Games, themed Murder Mystery events and can not rate them highly enough! The events are superbly organised and from start to finish you feel as though you have been transported into the theme's location and atmosphere for a truly memorable experience. We can not wait for the next one! Mel and Ben Chase Directors, BC Electric Limited Grimsby.

I have played many of the Murder Mystery Games from Red Herring Games and have always had a Great Fun night. Jo gives fantastic advice and customer service. Highly recommended Gill HardyGroup Leader Utility Warehouse Discount Club.
I have attended a number of Red Herring Games events from small dinner party games to the large 100 people plus fundrasing events and they have always been fantastic. Unlike other mureder mystery events I have attended Red Herring's use proper actors and there is always something unexpected. The events get people talking and are always a real laugh (although I am hopeless at guessing who dunnit). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of Red Herring's games or events and if you are not sure they are always very happy to give advice and answer your questions.
