Hire An Actor


Our games are designed for you to buy and run yourself. But sometimes it's good to have help. There are two ways in which we can arrange this. For our VIRTUAL, ONLINE games Murder in the Red Room and The Chocolate Bar Mystery, we can provide an actor to run your game for you. For our other games where EVERYONE IS IN THE SAME SPACE, we can send one or two of our professional actors to join you and run your game for you (providing it is safe to do so). Because we are based in London, prices are higher the further away from London you need us to be.

VIRTUAL, ONLINE GAMES

With Murder in the Red Room and The Chocolate Bar Mystery, if you hire us to run the game for you, we send it to you without you needing to buy it and download it yourselves. You arrange the online “meeting” where the mystery takes place. Our actor then joins you for it, plays the main character and runs your game.

You can contact us here to find out more about this option.

GAMES WHERE EVERYONE IS IN THE SAME SPACE

Our other games (The Auction, The Final Curtain, etc.) are ones we’ve been running for many years and pre-date any Covid-19 regulations. They are meant for people who can gather safely all in the same space. We can send our highly-skilled actors to join you for them who know how to make our whodunits work best for all kinds of groups. Hiring them will mean you won't have to worry about what to give out when, what should come next or where any important evidence is. We will take care of all this for you. And leave you to play the game along with your guests and concentrate on what matters most. Having fun!

With games where EVERYONE IS IN THE SAME SPACE, we have three main options. Option 1 is where you buy the game from us, download it and run it yourselves. With Option 2, you buy it and put it together then hire one or more of our actors to come along and run it. Because our actors are all based in or near London, this option is best suited to events happening within this area, too. With Option 3, we don't just send out our actors to run your game, we put it together for you, too. This is our priciest option but also the one where you end up with least to do.

You can find out more about what we can offer on our sister site Murder Mystery and Mayhem. But do come back to this site to order and download your game. Or contact us here to find out more.

PRICE

So, how much does it cost to hire a professional actor from us? Or, for some plots, two actors? With our VIRTUAL, ONLINE games, you can expect to pay around £250-£300 in the UK for groups of up to 25 people. The price is higher for bigger groups and across different time zones. With our EVERYONE IN THE SAME SPACE games, the extra distance and extra travel time to reach venues further away from London means we have to charge more for them. But, in London, we're talking £300-£400 for a game you buy from us and put together and we then run for you. For a game we put together and run for you, it’ll be at least double that. For more information about all this, please contact us c/o Murder Mystery and Mayhem here.
