What To Expect: The Experience

The core of this activity is a two-and-a-half-hour murder mystery party that transforms your typical get-together into an interactive game. Expect your host, the Murder Master, to take on a role that guides your group through the evening. This person is key—crafting the storyline, managing clues, and keeping the game lively.

Your group will be tasked with solving a staged murder, with each guest assigned a role as a Suspect—ranging from a wealthy heiress to a swaggering gangster. The fun is in the role-playing: dressing up, building alibis, and trading secrets. With plenty of clues, you and your friends will poke around the scene of the crime, pointing fingers, uncovering secrets, and trying to identify the murderer.

Reviews suggest that the game is well-structured, with a good balance of humor, suspense, and teamwork. One reviewer mentioned, “Plenty of finger pointing, backstabbing, blackmail and unbridled skulduggery will ensue,” which hints at the lively, slightly mischievous atmosphere.

The Interactive Element: Role-Playing and Clues

Participants love how engaging the game is. It’s not just sitting and watching; it’s about actively participating. You’ll be encouraged to fight to establish your alibi and prove innocence, making each guest a suspect with a story to tell. This level of interactivity is what makes it memorable.

Guests have noted the “plenty of clues and dirty secrets,” which keep the game moving and prevent it from becoming predictable. The host is experienced at keeping things flowing smoothly, and some reviews mention that the game’s storyline is both clever and fun, with enough twists to keep everyone guessing.

Dinner and Drinks

An integral part of the evening is the delicious three-course dinner, which is included in the price. Guests are welcomed with a glass of bubbly, setting a celebratory tone. Beverages are available at bar prices, so you can opt for wine, beer, or soft drinks to complement your meal.

The food quality is generally considered good, with reviewers appreciating the balance of flavors and the presentation. It’s not a gourmet feast but more than enough to keep everyone energized for the game. The inclusion of dinner makes this experience a convenient, all-in-one event—no need to arrange separate catering or worry about food logistics.

There’s also a prize for the winner, adding a competitive edge that keeps everyone motivated. Additional prizes may be available depending on your package, making the game even more engaging.

Value for Money

At $101.74 per person, this experience offers a lot of value, especially considering it includes dinner, a private setting, photos, and a fun prize.

It’s also a flexible experience, suitable for most travelers given the casual dress code and straightforward nature.

Limitations and Considerations

The main drawback is the non-refundable policy—plans should be confirmed carefully. It’s also worth noting that this is a private activity, so your group will be the only participants, which is perfect for privacy but means you won’t be sharing the game with strangers. The experience is designed to last approximately 2.5 hours, so plan your evening accordingly.

If you’re traveling in a small group and want an activity that’s both social and engaging, you’ll find this a charming way to spend an evening.

However, if you’re after a more traditional sightseeing tour or outdoor adventure, this might not be your best choice. It’s best for those who want a theatrical, story-driven experience that adds a playful, memorable touch to their Blue Mountains trip.
