Murder Most Foul
Murder most foul, as in the best it is; But this most foul, strange, and unnatural
Hamlet Act 1, Scene 5
So said Hamlet’s father to describe his own murder!
​
As a twist to our parties we run the occasional ‘How to host a murder’ party – albeit with a very sexual twist!
The parties run in three phases and are designed for 10-12 people, usually expandable to 14-16 with some additional ‘help’ included (but they aren’t suspects). As with a play party there is a sexual flavour, with attendees encouraged to ‘pump’ each other for information to solve the murder.
Rest assured there is a playbook and clues to find the murderer!
