Big Birthdays

Award-winning murder mystery entertainment since 2007

Make a milestone birthday unforgettable

We stock a huge range of small group dinner party games which you can play with between six and 20 guests. All of our games are designed for an equal mix of men and women, but don't worry if yours isn't an equally mixed group, we can adjust many of our games.

In addition to the games you can play yourself we can also provide fully event managed afternoons, evenings, or even weekends for you. The options here are endless, ranging from us using six of your guests as the suspects and having two actors joining you, or up to eight actors in a live-action Cluedo type scenario.
