Murder Mystery 'Murder at the Estate'
Join us for a night of intrigue and suspense at Woodlands Homestead on Whitikahu Road!
In a small town, tragedy strikes as a young woman is found dead in the homestead. With the overwhelmed detective struggling to keep up, the grieving parents are determined to find justice. They have put up a substantial reward. Now, eight groups of private investigators are invited to solve this gripping mystery.
You and your team will have one hour to delve into the secrets, hunt down clues, decipher mind-boggling puzzles, and piece together the puzzle to uncover the identity of the culprit responsible for this heinous crime.
The Night Stalk at Woodlands Estate
Beware... lurking within the shadows of the eerie Historic Woodlands Estate lies a mystical creature, whispered about in chilling tales. I have witnessed its haunting presence firsthand.
In the shroud of darkness, you shall venture through the gardens, with only the feeble moonlight and flickering torches to pierce the encroaching blackness. But fear not, for it is my voice that will serve as your eerie guide through the murky abyss.
This game is played within the Woodlands Gardens at night and can be played as an individual, or as a team.
All you need is a mobile phone with internet connectivity and headphones, plus an extra torch if you wish.
Immerse yourself in the experience, and be prepared for clue challenges along the way. Will you accept the challenge and uncover the secrets that dwell within?
If your team enjoys quiz nights, solving puzzles, games and working on cryptic clues, then they will love our Hosted Game Sessions!
The game is played seated at a table. It’s great for a social environment with drinks in hand.
These games can be hosted either in our venue at 6 Sapper Moore-Jones Place, or at a venue of your choice. We have good relationships with several venues throughout the city, so our team are happy to work with you to find a suitable location.
Combine the session with platters and drinks and it makes a fantastic function.
The games are hosted by our experienced Game Masters who will ensure that your team has a enjoyable time. They will ensure the competitive rivalry is alive and will be happy to conduct prizegiving ceremonies at the end of the event.
