Embark on an unforgettable journey where mystery and fine dining intertwine, offering a unique experience – a murder mystery dinner aboard a steam train. The evening begins with pre-murder cocktails (not included in the price), setting the stage for an atmosphere shrouded in intrigue and suspense. These early moments are crucial, laying the groundwork for the enigmatic events that are about to unfold. As you sip your drink, observe the interactions around you – they could provide the first clues to unlocking the mystery. As the plot thickens, you'll witness a meticulously planned murder unfold before your very eyes. This marks the start of your adventure into the unknown, where every detail matters, and every character becomes a suspect. The transition from witness to detective is seamless as you board the majestic Pullman carriages, hauled by a steam locomotive, stepping back in time to an era of elegance and mystery. Seated comfortably, you’ll be presented with detective packs and clues alongside a sumptuous three-course meal. The immersive experience continues as the train steams through the High Weald of Sussex, building suspense as the thrilling investigation unfolds onboard. Your role as a detective is both challenging and exhilarating. Throughout the journey, you'll have the opportunity to cross-examine the surviving characters, piecing together their testimonies and searching for inconsistencies. Be vigilant, for amid the genuine leads are cunningly placed red herrings designed to throw you off the scent. Trust no one, as the murderer is among you, weaving lies and deceit to conceal their identity. The success of your investigation hinges on your ability to discern truth from falsehood, connect all the dots, and ultimately unmask the culprit.
