About

Step back in time to 1897 and join us at the Roman Baths for a thrilling evening of drama, suspense, and murder! You are invited to solve the mysterious death of Major Charles Davis, found dead during the grand unveiling of the Roman Promenade at the Roman Baths.

Upon arrival, enjoy a complimentary drink and mingle with your teammates, then explore the ancient monument, interrogate the suspects and unmask the culprit in this captivating murder mystery experience.

Don't miss out on this exciting event that is perfect for groups, teams, and anyone looking for a unique night out! Guests will be in teams of 12 - we can allocate you to a team or buy 12 tickets to create your own!

What to Expect on the Night:
The year is 1897, and the Roman Promenade is set to be formally opened by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Cambridge. A star-studded guest list includes notable figures such as John Brydon, the celebrated architect of the new buildings; Mr. John Stone, Town Clerk and overseer of the building design competition; and esteemed Detective Charles Dunsford.

Amidst the glamour, controversy brews over the potential attendance of Major Charles Edward Davis, the City Architect whose architectural designs were rejected in a dramatic Council competition. Will he show up, or is he hiding in the shadows?

One thing is certain: the night will be full of surprises and drama as you and your fellow guests work together to uncover the truth. Fancy dress is encouraged, but not required.

Price: £35 per person (includes one drink)

Bundle of 12 tickets available at £348 – save £6 per ticket when you buy as a group!
