Murder at the Showbiz Party

Big hair, big egos and deadly secrets collide at an 80s showbiz party. Can you uncover the killer before the final curtain falls?

Hosted by Murder By Appointment, the longest-established murder mystery company in the West of England, this immersive evening promises suspense, intrigue and plenty of twists along the way.

Step back into the glitz and glamour of the 1980s and enter the high-pressure world of film, television and theatre as a guest at an exclusive showbiz party hosted by a major casting agency. The music is pumping, the champagne is flowing, and the stars are out in force — but all is not as it seems.

Behind the smiles and spotlight, jealousy, ambition and greed simmer dangerously close to the surface. As rivalries ignite and thinly veiled threats are made, the party takes a dark turn when a body is discovered.

Watch carefully, question the suspects and piece together the clues to uncover who committed the murder. Get it right, and you could win a prize — all before the final curtain falls on this unforgettable 80s-themed night of mystery and drama.
