Did this with family and friends. Cannot recommend enough. So much fun and so well put together. I would go so far as to say it's better for the fact that you don't have to leave the home. :-) Certainly was for my step mum who is a little too old and immobile to attend something like this. Great writing, acting and storytelling. Organisation of teams and tech were excellent. If you're a fan of games, competitive, or looking to have a full blown online event (party/wedding etc.), this is perfect.

Did this with work just before Christmas. Great fun, much better than I thought it was going to be. The actors were hilarious and although we didn't guess the right murderer everyone had an awesome time. I'd definitely do it again.

I booked this as a birthday surprise for a keen murder mystery enthusiast who had exhausted every Netflix true-crime documentary over lockdown and The Virtual Murder Mystery Company took care of everything! From the comfort of our living room, we were transported, via Zoom, to a virtual country manor. Here, we were able to pit our wits against friends and family by working together in teams to solve a most heinous crime. The whole show was performed live by a company of truly wonderful actors, so it is interactive without any of the awkward roleplay you'd get with one of those out-of-the-box murder mystery kits. This show has thrills, suspense, plot twists, intrigue, lashings of laughs and best of all, the chance to play detective and solve a murder mystery! Just one more thing... Book 'em Danno, Murder One!

What a great evening! At a time when there wasn’t much to look forward to I wasn’t sure what I’d make of an online interactive event. It was BRILLIANT! So well put together and felt like I’d been and seen a great bit of theatre only without leaving my house. Funny and made personal by the actors including us in their scenes and keeping us all on our toes. I have already recommended this to several friends for their companies and would even like to do it again.

Absolutely faultless event! I was a bit worried about booking a virtual event as some of my team are a bit old school and technophobe, but the support was brilliant and all we needed to do was log on and it was all done for us. The actors were all hilarious and clearly very experienced. It was a great addition to our conference. I’ve recommended it to the whole leadership team.

A great event, well presented and a lot of fun. Dress it up with a virtual sharing of a meal or just a drink with friends old and new. Easy way to meet new people and bond in team work. The virtual medium works well with brilliant actors and convincing sets. A real sense of 'togetherness'. Highly recommended for a social experience or team building exercise.

If you're looking for something different to do over Zoom family, friends or colleagues then the Virtual Murder Mystery Company offers something really special. It was so much fun to play with my family and also it took off the pressure of organising and hosting for one night. They took care of everything and made sure everyone had the best time. Would definitely book again.

Top draw entertainment. We were looking for a good team activity instead of a very mundane zoom quiz and a murder mystery seemed like a nice change. It’s safe to say that The Virtual Murder Mystery Company delivered on all fronts! From the initial meeting to organise the event, all the way through to the reveal of the murderer (no spoilers), everying was well organised. I must say a big thank you to Robert and Becky who were are contacts in the office and a huge well done to the cast of actors, all of them were hilarious. I would definitely recommend and hopefully will find another excuse to book again soon for a different mystery to solve.

We decided to on a Murder Mystery just to have a different experience in these times that seem to be dominated by online quizzes. It was absolutely great! A real immersive experience, both fun and challenging. The actors were fantastic. Treat yourself!

Booked a Murder Mystery for my sisters birthday. We didn’t really know what to expect with it being online... it was extremely well delivered with good performances and extremely funny. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended for a fun night out... well in

We wanted to do something a bit different (during lockdown) for a special 50th birthday and decided on this. What an absolute treat. It was such fun, the actors were brilliant and the experience was hilarious. It’s literally all my family will talk about since taking part. If you’re looking for something unique and fun then do this - it’s like virtual Cluedo. We’ll definitely be doing this again, even if lock down gets lifted. Thank you x

We decided on the murder mystery as a birthday treat during lockdown last year. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all attendees. Engaging team , provided excellent entertainment all from the comfort of our own living room.

This was nothing like what I expected. So funny, a bit naughty and so so much fun. We did this at the start of December and my colleagues still do impressions of the characters now 🤣 That was one of the highlights - that we didn’t have to play characters like other ‘out of the box’ murder mysteries. Am going to book again for a summer party as I understand there are different stories too!

I love a murder mystery and, although I had initial reservations about how it would work on zoom (don't we all?!), I was delighted at how clear this was to engage with and follow. The background sets of manorial elegance were impressive and the cast nothing short of brilliant - and excellent at giving their subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) clues. The breakout rooms, where we got to quiz the individual suspects, worked well to make the experience feel more engaged and connected with our fellow sleuths. It was actually useful to be able to discuss the events, clues and possible motives with fellow Marples and Poirots. No matter what bizarre questions we threw at the suspects they had a response that was both informative and entertaining. Gadzooks - what a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

A really enjoyable evening with witty and engaging performers who brought the experience of a traditional murder mystery directly into the home over Zoom. A great way of working with the technology to make you feel like you were really stepping into the stately home of a whodunnit mystery!

I booked the “Murder at Lovelace Manor” in December for my Work Corporate party and the experience was absolutely incredible. The Murder Mystery has been adapted fantastically well for the virtual landscape and the actors did a phenomenal job in recreating an engaging interactive evening for all involved. Most importantly we had an absolute ball, and I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
