🕵️‍♂️ Our First Murder Mystery… and What a Night It Was! 🔪🍷

Oh what a fantastic evening we had on Friday night at our very first Murder Mystery Dinner! From the moment guests arrived at 18:30, the atmosphere was filled with anticipation, laughter, and just a little bit of suspicion…

By 19:15 our host, the mysterious Mr. Atlas Love, was brutally murdered! 😱 And just like that the room turned into a hive of detectives, suspects, and dramatic accusations.

Some guests arrived fully in character (our mechanic-driver lady absolutely stole the show!), while others took a moment to warm up — but by 19:30 everyone was deep into the drama and the room was buzzing with intrigue.

There were secrets…
There were accusations…
There was plenty of wine - with a free tasting from Meraki and Barton Wines - thank you Janine!!! Not to mention the free glass of Forgotten Cellars Merlot or Chenin that patrons could indulge in!🍷

And the question on everyone’s mind: WHO DID IT?

Our mystery unfolded until just after 10pm, when the truth was finally revealed. Four clever detectives managed to correctly identify the murderer! 👏

There were prizes, plenty of laughs, and to top it all off — our murderer celebrated her birthday with us! 🎉
Happy Birthday Jess! You played the role beautifully — a true villain worthy of the spotlight. 😏

All in all, it was an unforgettable night of mystery, laughter, and great company… and we can safely say:

🕵️ This won’t be our last Murder Mystery.

We’ll be hosting another one next month, and trust us — you won’t want to miss it.

👍 Like our page and follow us to be the first to hear when the next mystery is announced.

Who knows… next time the murderer could be YOU. 🔪
