Stirling Murder Audience Questions
So you’ve booked your murder, yay you! Now let’s see what to expect.
Do I need to act or dress up?
No acting required unless you fancy joining us as an actor! Just sit back and enjoy or get involved with the sleuthing. If the event has a dress-up theme, it’s encouraged but totally optional.
What time should I arrive?
Please arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled start so you have time to check in, grab a drink, and get ready for the mystery.
Is there an age restriction?
Yes—minimum age is 13, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Most of our mysteries include adult themes and strong language, so viewer discretion is advised. If unsure, feel free to contact us at info@stirlingmurder.co.uk.
Is food or drink included?
It depends on the event. Some include meals or a buffet, and dietary requirements will always be catered for. Check your ticket or event listing for full details.
Can I talk to the characters?
Absolutely! Between scenes, you can question the suspects—just remember, they might lie to protect themselves.
How do we solve the mystery?
After watching the story unfold and interrogating suspects, you’ll submit your theory. The sharpest minds will win the Diligent Detective Award and some Stirling Murder goodies!
Do I need to come in a group?
Nope! You can come alone, as a pair, or with a group. It’s a great night out either way.
Can I take photos or videos?
Photos are welcome, but please don’t record full scenes or post photos of the evidence —no spoilers for future detectives!
I still have questions…

Joining Stirling Murder as an Actor
Fancy joining us as actor? We would love to have you on board!
What will I have to do?
You will be given your script two weeks before your scheduled event and it’s up to you to read it and make notes on your character. Then before the event we have some time to go through the plot and rehearse any key elements. Then it’s
time to get ready before showtime!
What if I make a mistake?
It happens! But don’t worry, your friendly Event Director will be there to get you back on course. With improvisation, mistakes are more prone and we are all experienced in picking up where we left off!
Will I get paid?
You will be given a payment to cover expenses such as travel and costumes, but remember, you will be classed as self-employed for these payments and it is up to you to make the right declarations to the government.
What if I do it once and decide I don’t like it?
Then you don’t have to do it anymore! Working with Stirling Murder is flexible, so if you decide that you don’t want to do it anymore, that is perfectly fine. Just let someone in the head office know and we will remove you from our list of
actors.
