Corporate Murder Mystery Night
Bring your team together for an evening of suspense, laughter, and sharp thinking. Our corporate murder mystery nights are fully hosted and professionally managed — with immersive characters, clues, and twists that keep everyone involved.
Our signature event, The MacTraitors, is directly inspired by the hit TV show The Traitors — bringing secret roles, suspicion, and dramatic eliminations to your corporate evening.
Themes & Storylines
From Traitors-inspired hidden-role evenings to classic whodunits and bespoke branded experiences — we tailor every event to your team.
The MacTraitors
Our flagship Scottish clan murder mystery. Guests are drawn into the treachery and secrecy of an ancient Highland clan — cloaks, goblets, shields, and towers set the scene. But this isn't a simple whodunit. Guests must identify the murderer, uncover where the cursed English Gold is hidden, AND expose the MacTraitors lurking within their own group. Three objectives, one unforgettable evening. Directly inspired by the hit TV show The Traitors, this secret society format brings genuine tension, suspicion, and dramatic reveals to your corporate event.
Classic Whodunit
A timeless murder mystery format. A crime is committed, suspects are introduced, and your guests must piece together the clues to identify the killer. Paced through the evening with dramatic reveals, red herrings, and a satisfying finale. Works brilliantly alongside a dinner service.
Sherlock Holmes Detective Evening
Holmes and Watson arrive at a sprawling Highland estate — and nothing is as it seems. A Sherlock Holmes-themed corporate detective evening where guests follow the clues, interrogate the suspects, and race to crack the case before Moriarty wins. Perfect for teams who love a puzzle and a bit of theatre.
1920s Gatsby Murder Mystery
Glamour, jazz, and a dark secret. Set in the roaring twenties, this themed murder mystery places guests in the heart of a glittering party where not everything is as it seems. Perfect for gala dinners, awards nights, and Christmas events where you want atmosphere as well as entertainment.
Traitors-Style Hidden Roles
Inspired directly by The Traitors TV show, this format assigns secret roles at the start of the evening. No actors required — your own colleagues become the suspects. A professional host facilitates the rounds, votes, and eliminations. Brilliant for teams who've watched the show and want to live it.
Bespoke & Branded
We can build a murder mystery around your company, your industry, or your team's personalities. Custom storylines, branded props, and characters based on real (or fictional) colleagues. A genuinely unique experience that no other team will have had.
