Three teams of budding detectives from DNV enjoyed a  fantastic dinner and Evening Entertainment Event in the shape of a dark and sinister Murder Mystery Night at the excellent Marriott Hotel in Dyce.

The three 'Sleuths and Cops' teams assumed their roles for the Murder Mystery Night enquires, picking apart the stories of some fiendishly talented actors and investigating the sequence of events that lead to the terrible mis-doings in "The Lush, The Judge and The Pianist"...all in the course of enjoying a fabulous supper at The Marriott Hotel private suite . The teams  ranged from Di’Nae Ken,  to Charlie’s Angels (or was that Angela The Maid’s table ?),  to Problems not Solutions!

The teams were presented with the Murder Mystery Night story of "  The Lush, The Judge and The Pianist" , one of our authentic "Olde Worlde Experience" of Murder Mysteries. The Evening Entertainment kicked off before starters were served, and the guests were quickly transported into a world of fantasy and a devious murder investigation with an opening act that nobody would forget full of lust, passion , poison, exploding pacemakers, intrigue and of course the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death itself…and  just where was the Butler? ...but nothing is as it seems with this Team Challenge Company Murder Mystery Night.

It was then up to the talented teams of table detectives to quiz the actors on everything they could possibly think of - from their whereabouts on the night of the murder to their crazy lustful antics with the other leading characters.... Just where was Bertie that fateful evening, and why has Lady Veronica always carry a cigarette holder, and as for Lord Ernest and his Father Dougal impression !!!! 

As the Evening Entertainment and Murder Mystery Night came  to a close and the final accusations were made, it seems some detectives were about as useful as the infamous Inspector Jacques Cousteau from the Pink Panther Movies! The Problems not Solutions Team was given the dubious honour of last place  for both  their awful guess of the Culprit, Means and Motive and what a crazy guess of ripping someone’s heart out- and for their particularly poor handwriting- it ended up in the bin...must do better next time !

All in all, the smartest team - the Di’ Nae Ken Team performed outstandingly well getting The Accused, The Means and The Motive just about spot  on, and it seems that perhaps Crime Scene Investigator is a realizable career path in the near future. The Di’ Nae Ken Team  were presented with their Team Challenge Company Winners Trophy and the Evening Entertainment was hailed by all as  a huge success , and we are quite sure that many of the guests have already begun watching re-runs of Columbo just to be in on the hunt next time and swotting up for their next Murder Mystery Event.
