The Story Behind MurderMysteryEvents.com
Murder Mystery Events was founded in 2000 by actor and entrepreneur Mark Hayden. While working across stage, screen and immersive theatre, Mark was invited to perform at several murder mystery events in London. Though the concept was fun, the quality varied wildly — from under-rehearsed actors to confusing scripts and poor direction.
Spotting an opportunity to raise the standard, Mark launched Murder Mystery Events with one clear mission: put the mystery — and the fun — in safe, professional hands.
“I realised most guests aren’t looking to become the next Inspector Morse — they want to laugh, bond with friends or colleagues, interact with professional comedy actors, and still solve a proper whodunnit,” says Mark. “That’s how our signature ‘Carry On meets Agatha Christie’ style was born.”
From the outset, MurderMysteryEvents.com set the bar high. Every event is written by experienced scriptwriters, cast with hand-picked professional actors, and tailored for the venue and audience. Whether it’s a public dinner in London’s West End, a weekend getaway in a historic country house, or a high-energy team-building event for corporate clients, every performance is built to entertain, engage and delight.
Over the past 25 years, the company has become a national leader in immersive entertainment — delivering unforgettable experiences for public audiences, private parties, and major brands alike. From product launches to hen parties, birthdays to bespoke storytelling experiences, we bring the same commitment to quality and theatrical flair.
And come Christmas? MurderMysteryEvents.com becomes the go-to choice for companies looking to throw a festive celebration with a twist. Think less awkward mingling, more hilarious accusations, wild alibis, and plenty of plot twists.
