Murder Mystery Dinner Xmas Special

A Christmas murder mystery dinner is a fun and social way to spend Christmas with new people and a little thriller on the side.

This year, we're skipping the standard Christmas routine! Come eat, drink, mingle and get thrown into a silly North Pole mystery where Santa’s been sleighed and everyone, including you, is a potential suspect.

The murder is just the icebreaker. The real goal? An enjoyable, communal Christmas dinner with those who are looking for something different this year. A social evening disguised as a crime scene with shared tables, big plates and lots of laughter and light-hearted accusations.

You’ll get a light character role, follow clues between dishes, question “elves” and “reindeer”, and by dessert you’ll know each other far better than expected.

What’s the catch this Christmas with Crane?
• A festive mystery dinner that gets people talking. Don't worry, no acting skills needed
• Naturally mix and chat with our communal dining arrangement
• Fun, warm and a bit chaotic! A holiday mood without the clichés
• 6-course shared meal over long table with a proper Italian-style feast

How does the night work?
• You sit at a shared table in The Jungle House
• Everyone gets a simple character profile
• Clues appear between the dishes
• You mingle, bluff, laugh, accuse
• By dessert, you’ve had great food and made new connections
• If the culprit is caught, even better, but that’s secondary 😉
