Exciting murder mystery developments for teaching

Prime Suspect has been busy developing new plots and expanding his murder mystery events over the last few weeks, including an expansion to the services offered to schools and youth groups. Taking the National Curriculum on science into consideration, he has been enahancing some existing scenarios to include more forensic and scientific elements, combining this with problem solving, team work and puzzles to create a series of CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) scenarios aimed at school pupils from ages 8 - 16.
The enhanced stories can include a mixture of forensic investigations with the existing clue solving scenarios, and include techniques such as finger printing, photofit, show casting, fibre examination, blood-typing and elementary chemical analysis. These events are ideal for those looking to demonstrate pratctcial science applications, and can be adapted for most age ranges and abilities. If you are looking for a science day that is exciting and different, Murder to Measure can deliver a day of half-day scenario that suits your schol and its pupils. Call us to discuss the options.

Murder mystery abroad

Murder to Measure is now home following a most murderous and enjoyable weekend in the Dordogne region of France. Our intrepid suspects were housed in a French chateau for the weekend to deliver death and deception the evening before a wedding in a French chateau, and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and welcome the received.
We had to sneak off before the actual wedding, but we wish the stag and his beautiful bride a fabulous life together - their friends pulled out all the stops to make their weekend memorable for all concerned.

School Mysteries

Prime Suspect has just returned from the depths of Essex, discovering the person responsible for the death of a secondary school head teacher - with the help of an enthusiastic group of girls from Year 7. Fortunately, the murderer left lots of clues, plenty of fingerprints and several challenges for the pupils to unravel, resulting in an arrest before it was time to go home.
Our school murder mysteries are proving very popular with pupils and staff alike, and can last for half or a whole day, combining elements of the national curriculum where desired. The pupils are usually presented with a crime scene, and then have to undertake various activities in teams to discover as much as they can about the crime and its perpetrator.
We've had schools invaded by vampires, mobsters and wizards, and to places as exotic as Tamworth, Chepstow and Romsford with our very special brand of mystery, entertaining and challenging in equal measure. It's always a delight to see the next generation of potential sleuths unravelling the clues to unmask the villains that are out there.

Spy murder mystery in Devon

Murder to Measure has most recently delivered its brand of murderous mayhem to the splendid Northcote Manor in north Devon, when guests were treated to a mystery involving international espionage, double agents and technical geniuses who weren't all that they claimed to be.
A select clientèle played the role of spies in training and had to solve codes and clues to discover the double agent and person behind the death of a revered member of the secret service. These events provided the final sparkle to a weekend that included a casino night and a treasure hunt to perplex the finest brains, and Prime Suspect throughly enjoyed the multiple costume and character changes, keeping guests guessing until the final minutes of the mystery.

Espionage murder in Devon

Murder to Measure will be at Northcote Manor in Devon on Saturday, with this exquisite hotel taking on the guise of a spy training centre for the evening. Guests can expect cunning disguises, code-breaking and more than a dash of glamour as our bevy of beauties and international super-sleuths attempt to solve the dastardly crimes that may, or may not, be the work of the villainous conglomeration known as STENCH.
Spy murder mysteries are a lot of fun, but they present Prime Suspect with several problems, as the world of international espionage makes the dealing of death legitimate, and above-the-law. But when double agents and incompentent spies are thrown into the mix, the resulting mystery can take a lot of unravelling, and the Northcote guests can expect a treat that needs a lot of lateral thinking to crack.
