Reading Murder mystery weekends A
A ‘murder mystery weekend’ is a fun way to try being a
detective! The weekend involves a two-night stay in a hotel, during which a ‘murder’, or several murders, will be committed. Guests have to solve the mystery of ‘whodunnit’ (who’s done it). They’re not real murders of course. A group of professional actors play the characters in the story. On some weekends, the guests also play roles, which are sent to them in advance, but on others the guests just play themselves, seeing who can identify the murderer. B
The weekend begins with dinner on Friday, when the
story and characters are introduced. During the evening, a ‘body’ is discovered, the ‘police’ arrive, and guests view the scene and the evidence. On Saturday, the police set up a special room which contains lots of evidence about the case. Guests can stay at the hotel to study the evidence or they can go and visit local attractions, but the actors play their parts throughout the whole weekend so guests can question them at any time. C
The organizers of the weekend advise guests to write
notes as they discover information, but the most important thing is to interview the characters, to try to work out who is guilty. Sunday morning is the time when the police finally explain the story, the clues and the identity of the murderer! D
Murder weekends work particularly well for groups of
friends celebrating a special occasion, or employees learning to work together. However, they’re also suitable for couples, or families with teenage children. They’re something a bit different and are a lot of fun for everyone!
