CLASSICS
When you hear “murder mystery” you might well think of wealthy and powerful people with over the top accents being thwarted by ingenious detectives. You might think Cluedo. You might think 1920’s gangsters. Our classic mysteries are just what you’re looking for.
MIND YOUR MANORS: Lord Cluckington of Cluckington Hall has recently purchased an exceptional work of art. It’s going to be unveiled tonight at his stately manor home by the artist himself. Dove the maid is skulking around in a mood, and something seems to be bothering Arthur the art connoisseur. None of that is a huge problem though. What might be an issue is the dead body in the master bedroom. It’s up to you to solve this classy upstairs/downstairs style mystery!
Good for: Everyone! We highly recommend this mystery or Mrs Peacock’s Feathers if you’ve never been to or hired a Can You Catch The Killer Mystery before
MRS PEACOCK’S FEATHERS: Welcome to the mansion of the mysterious and elusive Mrs Peacock, where some unsavoury looking guests have gathered. The Reverend seems a little green around the gills, the Colonel doesn’t really care for mustard and Mrs White is looking a bit pale to say the least. With all these odd characters around… is it any wonder that someone has turned up dead? It’s up to you to get to the bottom of this classic Cluedo themed mystery!
Good for: Everyone! We highly recommend this mystery or Mind Your Manors if you’ve never been to or hired a Can You Catch The Killer Mystery before
GANGSTERS AND GATSBY: Welcome to the roaring 20’s and home of the Great Gatsby, where some of New York’s most notorious gangsters are gathered. Jimmy Fingers is making a power grab. Frankie the Butcher has beef with everyone. Hayley MeLone just wants someone to love her. The liquor and the laughs are flowing freely. But when Gatsby himself turns up dead, it’ll be up to you to figure out which of these seedy criminals did the deed!
Good for: Fans of the roaring 20’s and the Great Gatsby.
STRICTLY COME KILLING: It’s the opening round of this years Strict Ballroom Dancing, the annual reality TV extravaganza that sees all manner of people strut their stuff on the dance floor for the approval of four famous judges. And who are those judges? A washed up comedian, a retired boxer, a once great dancer who failed due to injury… there’s a lot of tension between these Z list celebrities, and a great deal of backstabbing going on back stage.
But tonight backstabbing has taken a more literal meaning. The only truly famous judge – superstar dancer Patti O’Door – is missing… and if the shifty looks on the other three judges faces is anything to go by she’s not just running late! Looks like the Strictly Curse has struck in a new and unexpected way this year.
It’s up to YOU to get to the bottom of this horrifying murder. If you don’t… then there might not even BE a Strictly this year!
Good for: Anyone! This mystery doesn’t require any prior knowledge of Strictly Come Dancing and is a great mystery for hen parties.
SEASONAL AND PARODY
So you’re looking for something special to do for Christmas or Halloween? Or maybe you’re a super fan of Holmes or Harry? We’ve got you covered.
THE LOST SOUL OF THE LINGERING LAIRD: Welcome to Dougalzean – possibly the most haunted castle in the whole of Scotland… maybe even the world. There’s a new ghost haunting this creepy castle. As though it wasn’t spooky enough to have legends of ghosts hiding in the caves below your feet, or the phantom bagpiper who’s mournful music haunts the night, now there are reports of a terrifying screaming spook in a kilt.
Could this be the ghost of a long lost Laird? A team of American ghost hunters, headed by psychic investigator Simon Kick, is here to find out. But when someone shows up mysteriously dead the question is: was this a sinister act from a disgruntled spirit, or a cold blooded murder? It’s up to YOU to find out who made the gardener kick the bucket and whether Simon should give up the ghost.
Good for: Halloween!
SLAY BELLS RING: In a workshop at the North Pole some happy little Christmas elves are busy making toys for good girls and boys. It’s the most magical time of the year… but you know what they say? Sometimes, Christmas can be murder. Tensions are running high among stressed elves who really really don’t want to disappoint their magical boss. But when one of these spritely toy makers turns up mysteriously dead its up to you to determine if it was a cold blooded murder… or all done in Elf Defence.
Enjoy some dastardly deeds with a festive twist in the REAL tinsel town.
Good for: Christmas!
THE UNSEEN BLADE: There’s been a murder… but not to worry, Master detective Sherlock Holmes is on the case! The one snag? The dead body looks a great deal like master detective Sherlock Holmes as well. Clearly something is amiss, and when Holmes can’t be trusted to be who he says he is it’s down to YOU to discover who the killer is. It would also be quite helpful if you figured out who was actually dead, while you’re at it. Will you find the answer to be elementary? Or will your answer be so embarrassing your face will be a study in scarlet?
Good for: Being a fan of Sherlock Holmes will help but isn’t essential, it’s all explained within the show.
TAKE THIS RING: A MURDERLESS MYSTERY! We know that not all situations are really ideal for a MURDER mystery. Some people don’t want to talk about dead bodies on their wedding day or at their birthday party… each to their own!
Fortunately, we have a solution.
Our new MURDERLESS MYSTERY is available to book for your event. All the fun, puns, team work, and problem solving of our usual shows, but without any of that messy murder business.
We are proud to present, new from Can You Catch The Killer: CAN YOU CRACK THE CASE?

Good for: people who don’t want any mention of murder or death at their event but do still want a fun challenging mystery that’s suitable for all ages.
