A summary of the game
“The Reading of the Will” is a murder mystery for 6-8 people. Each of them is a character in the plot. It is usually run over a meal, with the person hosting the party also playing one of the characters.
Four characters are male and four are female, but don’t worry if you don’t have the right male/female split. Getting men to play women or women to play men generally adds to the fun!
While the mystery unravels, guests question each other (in character) and try to discover what everyone has been getting up to. Information about their own character and clues about the others are given to them, and new plot developments occur while the mystery progresses.
As proceedings draw to a close, people get the chance to make their accusations, then the correct solution is revealed and the murderer is unmasked. For a more detailed description of the game, please click here.
Who has booked our murder mysteries before?
We have been running murder mysteries professionally in the UK since 1989. Hundreds of blue-chip businesses have booked us, and a list of satisfied corporate customers is on this link to the web site of our Murder Mystery and Mayhem sister company:
Our games have also been bought and enjoyed by many private customers for dinner parties, birthday bashes and other fun gatherings. Please do not think, however, that you can just download the game and let it run itself. By getting it at a much lower price than if we put it together and run it for you, you will obviously have to put in some work to make it a real success. But rest assured that thousands of people all over the world have done so before – and been very happy with the result.
