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.

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!

We love working at The Bull at Brenchley and our midweek visit was as good as ever. Jon’s friends were a really wonderful audience – great performances and so much laughter! The chocolates were won by Tom for his hilarious and unforgettable response to a supernatural experience in the second act. To be honest the sleuthing wasn’t quite as good as the acting, but the champagne was won by Christophe and Fabienne on the tie-breaker – vive La France!!!

Next up was a hilarious “Bone of Contention” for Erzsebet’s hens, and what a brilliant crowd they were! Monica won the hard-fought chocolates for her fabulous Cristabel and top sleuth was Daniela. Huge thanks to Lauren for great organisation and to you all for being such fun!

First event on Saturday was a “Bone of Contention” for Becca’s friends and family. What an audience!! Stunning performances and so much laughter. There was some pretty good detective work too with several people getting the murderer. In the end the fizz went to Ashleigh, whose answer was the most accurate. The chocs were won by Leanne for her brilliant Ethel, but it wasn’t an easy decision.
Thank you all for being so welcoming and so much fun!

Huge congratulations to Rebecca and Matthew, and our very best wishes for the future!

Looking back to last weekend, which kicked off with two brilliant events on Friday. First off was Jeremy’s stag do, which was an absolute riot! This terrific audience really went for it and embraced the crazy characters in “Bone of Contention”. The chocolates went to Tristan for his Scottish Bonnie and totally bonkers Cristabel and top sleuth was Roger. Huge thanks to Drew for great organisation. It was a fab night with the stags!!
