Murder Mystery

This is truly a different kind of Murder Mystery – it isn’t staged in advance – everyone who attends could be a suspect and even the ‘killer’ won’t know who they are until the end!

It’s a night of sleuthing fun from Shot In The Dark Mysteries

Are you looking for a unique murder mystery game?
Join us at the Lions Den!

This murder mystery party will create a true investigation, no silly stunts or ridiculous lines, just straight-up sleuthing! You will be questioning one another to find the suspect with the motive, means and opportunity to commit the murder or theft!


Ours is the HAUNTED ISLAND MURDERS  in the cocktail mingle party format.

Dress is casual.

the Haunted Island murders

Ten years ago, a group of teens went out to an island for a party – an island rumoured to be haunted. What happened that night has tormented them ever since.

And one… never returned.

Suddenly, a decade later, an invitation arrives from someone thought long dead…

Now, they have to return to the Haunted Island where it all took place

At the request of a dead man

But when the guests start dying one by one

Those left standing have to find the killer or killers

Or they could be next!

As a storm rolls in and the body count rises, old wounds are reopened and long-buried secrets claw their way to the surface. Every guest has something to hide… and someone to fear. The Haunted Island isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a character in its own right, watching, waiting, and ensuring that the truth will finally be revealed. But at what cost?


So grab some friends and come out for a fun evening.  The more the merrier!

Or, if you can’t attend, but would like to help out – buy a ticket (or 2) as a gift!

Escape Room Experience this Year!

Your team has been invited by world-renowned folklorist Dr. Laurence to his remote home to discuss collaborating on a new research project of his.
Upon arriving however, his home appears to be abandoned and ransacked. Inside, you find a letter from the doctor…
“If you are reading this, then I’ve failed and we have no time to spare. I’ve been researching the fae of this land and have stumbled across a prophecy which states that the entirety of humanity will be wiped out in the next coming days.
I’ve recently discovered a ritual which will be able to stop this ploy but it must be completed before the rise of the next new moon. I’ve hidden all the instructions and ingredients in my study to prevent them from being stolen in the event of my failure. You are humanity’s last hope.”

A quick check of the lunar calendar informs you that the next rise of the new moon will be in 1 hour! Can you complete the ritual before it’s too late?”
