This event is now sold out. Thank you for your interest. Looking for another thrilling evening? Join us for our next Murder Mystery experience this December.

All Hallows’ Eve, 1884… For years a small circle of friends has met at Admiral’s House, in the shadow of the Royal Naval College, for cards, brandy and gossip. This Halloween they have invited a fashionable medium to the table, hoping to call back Lord Nelson from the hall where he once lay in state. The candle is snuffed, hands are joined, and something answers. It is not the Admiral, but a colder voice, from much further north. When the lamps are lit again, one of the circle is dead at the table. Detective Inspector Josiah Marsh arrives at eleven o’clock as arranged, expecting to arrest a fraud, and finds himself facing a murder instead. Join him as you move through the rooms of Admiral’s House, question the medium, the widow, the clergyman, the clerk and the Admiral, and piece together the séance seat by seat to discover who let go of whose hand in the dark. Not everyone at that table came to speak to the dead. Some came to make sure the dead stayed silent.

Step into a world of shadows, secrets, and suspense this Halloween, with this thrilling murder mystery experience, set within the historic walls of Admiral’s House. As darkness falls, assemble your team of detectives to explore our historic buildings under the cover of night. You’ll need to hunt for hidden clues and interrogate enigmatic, spine-chilling suspects to piece together the puzzle before the witching hour.

With 90 minutes to investigate, interrogate, and deduce, will your team crack the case, or will the culprit slip away into the night?

Please note: Recommended age 16 and above. 

About the venue

Admiral’s House is the oldest building of the Old Royal Naval College site, originally commissioned by King Charles II to be his King’s House in 1660. In 1745 the rooms became the official residence of the Governor of Greenwich Hospital. It then became known as Admiral’s House, as the Governor was almost always an Admiral.
