How can we help?
Q: Do we need acting experience?
Not at all. WHODUNIT is designed for everyone, whether you love performing or would rather keep things low-key. You’ll be given everything you need to play your character, and how far you lean into it is completely up to you.
Q: What is the minimum group size?
WHODUNIT is designed for private groups of 8–20 people, and a minimum of 8 guests is required for the mystery to work properly.
Q: How are the characters allocated?
After booking, the booking contact receives a character list based on the group size. They choose who will play each character and send us the participants’ names and phone numbers. We then send each guest their full character briefing directly, so everyone’s secrets stay secret.
Q: Will the murderer know they’re the murderer?
No. Nobody — including the murderer or the person who made the booking — knows who the killer is at the start. The murderer finds out privately during the event, as the story unfolds.
Q: How do I choose a date?
Send us your preferred date and time when you enquire. We have a range of weekday, evening and weekend slots available, and we’ll confirm what works for your group.
Q: Is WHODUNIT suitable for work events or private celebrations?
Both. WHODUNIT works for team events and Christmas parties, as well as birthdays, celebrations and groups of friends looking for something different to do together.
Q: Can we bring alcohol?
Yes. The Place is BYO, so you’re welcome to bring your own drinks, including alcohol, for your private event.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 7 days before the event
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
