A summary of the game
Designed for groups of 7 to 16 people, Murder Aboard runs for up to 4 hours and works particularly well over dinner. One person acts as co-ordinator, responsible for making sure everything goes smoothly and that guests receive all the information they need. They, like all the other guests, also have a character to play in the mystery.
The co-ordinator plays Dee Bartholomew, Entertainments Officer aboard The Dolphin (Dee can be male or female). One of the guests is the murderer and tries to hide this from the rest of the group. As well as trying to identify him/her, the other characters have their own, personal objectives to pursue. These will get them talking to everyone else as they become involved in other sub-plots along the way.
As proceedings draw to a close, people get the opportunity 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.
