Step back to a 1940s Christmas deep within the underground walls of Bembridge Fort, where the party's in full swing but something has gone horribly wrong.
Join us for two hours of wartime glamour, festive cheer and murder most foul. And this time, you're part of the story.
WHODUNNIT?
Some of our guests are more than they seem. A handful will be secretly cast as suspects, dropping clues and red herrings all evening, while everyone else works to unmask the culprit before the final reveal.
Follow our gloriously haphazard detectives through the fort's eerie underground passages, where every room hides another clue and every suspect has a secret.
THE PARTY
Settle in with a vintage-inspired Christmas ration box from Crumb Pact and a cocktail in hand, then dance along to live jukebox jazz and mingle with the other guests.
Dressing for the occasion is positively encouraged (never compulsory). Dust off those 1940s threads and step back in time.
