About the party
THIS EVENT IS BASED ON PRIVATE DINING ROOMS FOR THE MEAL FOLLOWED BY ACCESS TO SHARED ENTERAINMENT
A Christmas party where your guests are part of the story, not just sitting watching it. If you’re organising something for your team and want a format that gets people talking straight away, this murder mystery shared Christmas party in London gives you a built-in way to break the ice.
Your evening begins with a Prosecco reception before you’re shown into your own private dining room, setting a more relaxed and contained start to the night. As your guests settle in, the twist arrives early. A fully costumed detective interrupts proceedings to announce there’s been a murder and the culprit is somewhere in the room. From there, the experience unfolds around your three-course dinner, with suspects questioned between courses and clues revealed throughout. Some of your group may even be part of the storyline, adding a layer of interaction that naturally brings quieter and more outgoing guests together. Alongside this, drinks package run (Inclusions depending on which package chosen), keeping everything easy to manage while the evening builds.
Once the mystery has been solved and the culprit revealed, the tone shifts. You can stay in your private space to relax or move through to the shared afterparty, where the dancefloor opens and the atmosphere becomes more typical of a lively Christmas celebration. There are also casino tables available, giving guests another option if they prefer something a little more low-key than dancing. It’s a shared Christmas party that balances structure with flexibility, which can be helpful when you’re planning for a mixed group.
The setting is the DoubleTree by Hilton London Tower of London, a modern central London hotel just a short walk from Tower Hill and Fenchurch Street stations. The venue places you right in the City, making it straightforward for guests travelling in from different areas. With 583 bedrooms on-site, it also works well if some of your team are coming from further afield and want to stay over rather than travel home.
For organisers, this murder mystery shared Christmas party is a practical London Christmas party option. The structure is already built in, the entertainment keeps people engaged without extra planning, and the all-inclusive format keeps the evening easy to manage. If you’re looking for a shared Christmas party in London that gives your team something to do as well as somewhere to celebrate, this is one worth considering.

Questions
Which group size can you cater for?
We can accommodate virtually any group size. There are various dining rooms available so your party can be as few as 15, or as large as 180.
Who plays the suspects?
Ahead of the event and depending on the size of your group we’ll ask a number of your guests to volunteer as `suspects’. We’ll send each suspect a short information sheet with their character, motive, an alibi and a fact which only they will know. If you don’t fancy being a suspect yourself, don’t worry. There’s plenty of sleuthing fun to be had.
Is this a shared or exclusive event?
It’s both. Your 3-course dinner and murder mystery entertainment take place in your own private dining room. The private dining room remains yours all evening — and you can join other guests at the after-party. Celebrate your sleuthing success on the after-party dance floor, and try your luck at the casino tables.
Are drinks included in the price?
Yes. Your All-Inclusive Standard ticket includes unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks. Alternatively, you can upgrade to All-Inclusive Plus. This gives you unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks — plus 6 single spirits (with or without mixers), or glasses of Prosecco. With all options, all-inclusive drinks are served from 7.30pm until 12.00am (last orders 11.45pm).
Is there a dress code?
No. We want you to have a good time, so you can wear whatever you want — although many of our murder mystery guests love dressing up for this event. Before the evening, the `suspects’ will have received key information about their character. If they like, they can dress the part. Detectives can be `undercover’ in party clothes, or you can go full Sherlock Holmes with a deerstalker hat, magnifying glass and classic suit.
Will the hotel cater for different dietary requirements?
Yes they will. Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a function sheet. Use this to let us know the names and dietary requirements of any guests. We’ll inform the chef so that each person is catered for appropriately. The only exception to this is Kosher food. This cannot be prepared at the hotel. It comes via a separate caterer and incurs an additional charge.
How much is the deposit? And when is it due?
To secure your booking, we’ll need a non-refundable deposit of £55 + VAT per guest at the time of booking. The balance will be due 6 weeks (42 days) before the event.
Can I add additional guests later?
We’ll be as flexible as possible. Please let us know about any changes 3 weeks before the event and we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Provided there is availability, we can add to your booking — although please bear in mind, we can’t guarantee this.
