We're keen to support all theatre & events companies who have had to adapt during these difficult times and our friends at After Dark Murder Mystery Events have come up with a very resourceful way to keep going! They've released a card game!

It's available now, and at the bargain price of £8.95 it's the perfect stocking filler or secret Santa gift for Christmas and will help out a great team of performers until they can get back on stage again!

Welcome to Edwardian England. The Lord of the Manor is dead! The servants are our lead suspects and it's up to you to unearth the evidence, seek out the suspects and catch the culprit in order to scupper the other sleuths and win this game of murder!

Our friends at After Dark Murder Mystery Events haven't been able to get out and perform as much as they'd like over the last year, but being the resourceful criminal masterminds they are, they've created an all-new way to bring murder and mystery to you, as well as keeping their income going (and themselves afloat).
They've created their own Card Game!

If you like murder and you love playing detective then FOUL PLAY: The Murder Mystery Card Game is just what you need.

Available to pre-order from Friday 13th November, it would make the perfect stocking filler, whether you're going to hang it on the fireplace or cosh someone round the head.

Make sure you share to all your friends and family and help keep this amazing company going until they can perform again.
