Stag nights have come a long way from the predictable pub crawls and questionable entertainment. If you and your mates are after a night of pure fun, clever banter, and a celebration that’s more about camaraderie than chaos, then we’ve got the ultimate stag experience for you — a medieval murder mystery dinner!
Fit for a King (Literally)
This medieval murder mystery dinner was originally written for a group of lads in the UK who went all out — they rented a castle in the Yorkshire Dales, dressed in full medieval regalia, and feasted like kings (because one of them actually played the king). The evening was filled with intrigue, deception, and a little bit of harmless backstabbing (all in good fun, of course). The result? A legendary night that the groom-to-be and his guests will never forget.
The Game: A Medieval Murder Mystery Most Foul
We’ve taken that epic night and turned it into a brand-new medieval murder mystery game designed for groups of 18 to 21 guests. With a setting straight out of a historical drama, this game is packed with suspicious characters, hidden identities, and unexpected twists. And for those who love a bit of theatrical flair — yes, there are three female roles, which can all be played by men (because, let’s face it, medieval times were full of disguises and secrets). One of them is a witch, and the others? Let’s just say they’re men in hiding, avoiding some very inconvenient problems.

No Acting Skills? No Problem!
One of the best things about this medieval murder mystery dinner is that you don’t need to be a seasoned actor to have a blast. The game is largely improvised, meaning you can lean in as much or as little as you like. If you’re the kind of person who loves the spotlight, you can ham it up and fully embrace your medieval persona. But if you’re on the quieter side, no stress — there’s no pressure to deliver dramatic monologues. The beauty of a murder mystery is that it unfolds naturally, with everyone contributing in their own way. Whether you’re playing a scheming noble, a loyal knight, or the village apothecary, your role will fit your comfort level.
Why A Medieval Murder Mystery is the Perfect Stag Night Activity
✔ Clean fun, pure chaos – No awkward moments, no cringeworthy entertainment — just a night of hilarious storytelling, epic performances, and a little bit of murder. ✔ Brilliant for bonding – This isn’t just a game; it’s an experience. Whether you’re the cunning advisor, the bumbling knight, or the groom-turned-king, you’ll be plotting, scheming, and laughing together. ✔ Perfect for everyone – No need to worry if some of your mates are a bit shy — this game works for all personality types, from the life of the party to the guy who just wants to sip his ale and watch the madness unfold. ✔ No two games are the same – With shifting alliances, dramatic accusations, and unexpected betrayals, every group plays it differently.
✔ Mixed group? No problem – there are three “female” roles, but not all knights needed to shave, so women happy to play male characters would be most welcome. The only thing that’s guaranteed? An unforgettable night.
