Smoke & Mirrors Smoke & Mirrors create fully interactive, bespoke murder mystery events for people who enjoy unforgettable nights out.

Some “murder mysteries” are simply downloadable packages designed for small groups playing at home; others are put on for larger parties with a few actors and a vague sense of structure. We give you a detailed and believable scenario, unforgettable set-pieces, excellent comedy, and storylines you can really get your teeth into. All our events feature a full cast of brilliant professional actors. T

hey’ll play out scenes in your midst, sit with you, talk to you, and let you interrogate them. Then there’ll be a murder (perhaps more than one), and it’ll be up to you to work who did it, why they did it, and what they did it with. We guarantee our events will be intelligent, action-packed, and great fun.

"ROYAL BLOOD" at The White Horse, Romsey is SELLING FAST!!

It is the autumn of 1882, and famous actress Lillie Langtry has invited the cream of theatrical high society to celebrate her forthcoming departure for America, where she hopes to rebuild her career. But Lillie isn’t counting on the arrival of royalty, the eruption of scandal, and a particularly intriguing blast from the past … So begins a thrilling Victorian black comedy of divas, dilemmas, and dramatic exits.

Ash’s friends turned out to be brilliant actors and we had a fantastic evening on Saturday. Several people played more than one part which just added to the fun. Top sleuth was Alice, who got a near-perfect answer before changing her mind! Sylwia was undoubtedly one of the craziest Cristabels we’ve seen and was a deserving winner of the chocolates.
Huge thanks to Alice for finding us and for organising a great event!

On Saturday we headed into Birmingham for a riotous “Bone of Contention” for Beth and her wonderful hens. There were some great performances and a special mention to Lucy, who did a great job. However the chocolates finally went to Ellie for her sensational Ethel Clapp and Charl won the Prosecco. Huge thanks to Beth herself for finding us and arranging a great evening. We hope the wedding goes brilliantly!

Last Saturday gave as a spectacular reunion with this fabulous group, this time for "Larry Trotter's Murderous Parody". Huge thanks to Sheridan and Phil for asking us back for more, and special mentions to Scott for managing to negotiate the whole of Professor T's part whilst sporting the hairest fake beard ever invented, and also to Steve who won the chocolates for a riotously entertaining performance as Peeves! The fizz went to Linda for her very pictorial assessment of the crime. Like last time, it was an absolute blast - here's to the trilogy event!

On Saturday we had a great afternoon at The Hide, celebrating Guy’s birthday with his awesome friends and a very, very cute puppy. A great lunch was followed by a riotous “Ancestral Vices”, and the whole event was flawlessly orchestrated by Rory. There was some great acting, but the chocolates were finally nabbed by Lucy for her great Stella Shades and top detective was Jemma. Thank you all for being so much fun!

These hen parties are so good! On Saturday we met Yazmin’s friends who were amazing and looked great. There was some fabulous acting and Scarlett and Ethel were a great double act, but in the end the chocolates went to Silvia for her truly bonkers and totally consistent Christabel Vane. There proved to be no less than three fine detectives in the group, but Lauren won the fizz on the tie-breaker. Ladies, you were wonderful!!

When we arrived for Kayleigh’s birthday party we were greeted by this wonderfully-attired 1920s crowd. Not only did they look wonderful, they were also huge fun and we had a great evening. Special thanks to Kayleigh for finding us and hosting such a fabulous event. We hope the birthday itself was great too!

Sunday found us in Somerset again at the stunning Haygrass House for a wonderfully international birthday celebration for Susana. It was a truly hilarious evening with great audience participation and some fine detective work, for which Chris won the fizz. Huge thanks to Simon for fantastic long-distance organisation and for making us so welcome!

On Saturday we went to the fabulous Knowle Manor for Tony’s long-awaited “Burying the Hatchet”, which was originally booked before Covid. His friends and family proved to be a wonderful audience. The top sleuth was twelve year-old Leo, demonstrating the advantages of keeping a clear head!
Huge thanks to Tony for finding us and organising a fabulous occasion and to Elizabeth White Catering for looking after us so well.

What a brilliant weekend we had last weekend! The first event was an “Ancestral Vices” for Jenny’s birthday which set the bar very high indeed. This group of fantastic actors really went for it, but the chocolates were won by Tony for a seriously scary death scene. Some great sleuthing too, but top was Mary who was rewarded with the champers. Thank you all for a fabulous event!
