Our Plots

We have been producing our own Sherlock Holmes murder mystery scripts since we were established in 1992. Each plot is unique to us, and has been devised to allow a degree of audience participation, within a complex yet humorous case, which is solvable only to the astute of mind.

Will you be able to call yourself a master detective by the end of the event? All you have to do is follow the clues, question the suspects, find the physical evidence and solve the case before Sherlock Holmes makes his deductions. Several of the scripts have a train theme indicating our early days when we performed exclusively on heritage railways, though each is adaptable to any venue. In addition, The Blue Carbuncle (which has been specially adapted from the Conan Doyle story of the same name) is especially suited to Christmas parties as is our latest plot Who Killed Santa Claus? our first non-Sherlock Holmes offering. Other stories have been developed with country house, Masonic, hen night and boating themes so where ever your venue, or what ever your event, we have a plot for you!
