No rest for the wicked

Murder Towers is buzzing this week, and we are exploring the full range of our repertoire. Thursday sees us deliver a team-building murder mystery for Yell.com in Torquay, then it's hot foot to Birmingham to serve up a unique mystery at a school looking to foster teamwork within its ranks. On Saturday we are off to Frome in Somerset, but Prime Suspect shouldn't say too much, as the hen doesn't know we're coming... let's hope she wasn't expecting a stripper on her last night of freedom.
We will also be advertising nationally soon; selling our not inconsiderable wares to charities up and down the UK who are hoping to raise much needed funds for their ventures. We began performing for charities, so are always keen to deliver our particular brand of mayhem to anyone looking to make money for a good cause. Murder To Measure knows that every gig we do generates additional sales, so do contact us for a quote... you'll be surprised by our generosity.

School Murder Mystery.

Murder to Measure offers a number of scenarios to schools throughout the UK, and is pleased to have performed a number of its scenarios to all age groups. It aims to tie in closely with the National curriculum to devise puzzles, games and activities that can entertain and stretch pupils of any ability, often combining the death of a teacher or teachers in a highly enjoyable scenario that needs just a minimal effort on the part of the teachers.
It combines the best parts of Cluedo with a mystery that can explore any avenue of interest, and can be as challenging or entertaining as you desire. We can include forensic examinations, Maths, English and Foreign Language clues to stretch the brightest pupils or engage those who find school a challenge. Please do discuss your needs, and our team will devise a scenario that will fit them to a T.

Murder in Cheshire & Wiltshire

Murder Towers has been busy this weekend, with a hen night in Knutsford, Cheshire, and a charity gig in Salisbury, Wiltshire. 6 hardy professionals have enacted 3 murders in 1 night, and great fun was had by all.
In Salisbury, the city mayor was found dead amongst the silverware, and, as a result, a great deal of money was raised for his charity. Meanwhile, some 200 miles north, a bride-to-be was found to be a deadly killer, yet emerged with a smile on her face.
It's all in a weekend's work for Murder To Measure, where tailor-made scenarios are our speciality. If you have murder on your mind, it's always worth giving us a call, no matter what your motive.

Crime in the Silver Room

Murder to Measure will be hosting a charity mystery night at the Guildhall in Salisbury on 3rd May 2008 in aid of the Mayor's chosen charity. This splendid Wiltshire cathedral city has done very will recently in supporting Mayor Kevin Cardy in his appeal for Sarum Children's Ward at Salisbury District Hospital, with sponsored parachute jumps, raffles etc. going a long way to help him reach his target for his term in office.
The Guildhall has a splendid collection of silverware, including a spoon which, if filled with sugar, would keep even a builder sweet. It's more than likely that the evening could see some of those precious items hauled away by a villain or villains unknown, followed by a hunt for the guilty. Fortunately, there is also a law court on hand, so the guilty can be brought to book in time for carriages at midnight.
If you are interested in supporting the event, please contact Jan Cardy on 01722 339791.

Death of a Salesman

When not conducting dastardly deeds the length and breadth of the UK, Prime Suspect is currently in rehearsal for one of the great plays of the 20th century - Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. The piece, which depicts a family that falls short of the American Dream is powerful stuff, and whilst the title may give the end away somewhat, it's a roller-coaster ride through a pivotal couple of days of the dysfunctional Loman family.
There's no murder mystery involved here, but the strength of the piece lies in the dashed aspirations of the titular Willy Loman, his 2 underachieving sons and the family's true linchpin, Linda. It goes to prove that it is simply enough to want to succeed in life, and that sometimes it is better to accept and be happy with your limitations rather than to build impossible castles in the air.
Even 60 years or so since its first outing, it still packs an emotional punch, and is modern drama at its finest.

Hen Night - Murder on the Catwalk

Prime Suspect was lucky enough to be the only man in attendance at yet another hen night last night, in the presence of a bevvy of ladies celebrating forthcoming nuptials. With the theme "Black, White and Bling", we were transported into the cut-throat world of fashion, where competing designers vied to win a coveted award.
Whilst the wine and invective flowed freely, the organiser, Serge, attempted to prevent the inevitable, but his attempts were in vain, and soon one of the guests was brutally murdered.
The party questioned and probed to find the skeletons in the closet, and eventually, after some sterling performances from the hens, the mystery was solved and the murderer brought to book.
The evening's murder mystery may not make the Exeter headlines, but is sure to be a talking point at Viki's wedding.

Murder Mystery Mayhem

Murder Towers has been very busy of late. We have been running mystery events for corporate clients, teenage parties, fund-raising events and children's parties - it really has been a whirlwind...
We have expanded the list of Usual Suspects beyond our traditional boundaries of Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Devon, and have been traveling the length and breadth of the UK to deliver our own brand of murder mystery to all manner of customers.
Get in quick folks, 2008 is looking to be a bumper year.
