A summary of the game
Designed for groups of 40-200 people, St. Cakes runs for about 3 hours and works particularly well over a meal. Two people will need to act as co-ordinators, responsible for making sure everything goes smoothly and that guests receive all the information they need. As you will see from the invitation, all the guests are supposed to be connected with St. Cakes School, either as pupils or teachers. (Fancy dress is optional, but strongly recommended.)
There are six main guest characters. Everyone will be given a team or “house” to belong to. Each “house” has its own Head of House (team leader), Prefect (motivator) and Swot (the clever one). One of the guests will, of course, be a murderer.
To help find out who this person is, every house is given a few clues soon after the first murder happens. They use the clues they have to trade and barter with other houses, in the hope of ending up with a full set. They also have a “St. Cakes Challenge” to complete, for which they will be asked to write (and perhaps perform) a new school song.
As proceedings draw to a close, the different houses get the opportunity to make their accusations then the correct solution is revealed and the murderer is unmasked.

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.
