One of New Zealand's most popular tourist attractions has now offered guests an interactive murder dining experience on board.
Great Journeys New Zealand is once again inviting guests to uncover a murder in their midst aboard a scenic train journey.
Following the popularity of the original sellout event in August, ‘Murder on the Tormore Express’, the ultimate dinner theatre and rail experience is returning to the South Island for three entertaining nights on the 26 October, 30 and 31 December.
“We were thrilled by the overwhelming popularity of the inaugural murder mystery event,” says General Manager Great Journeys New Zealand and Commuter Tracey Goodall.
“The fantastic reviews are a testament to the enthusiasm and engagement of the Great Journeys team, along with the wonderful performances by the cast from The Court Theatre, all who hosted an unforgettable evening filled with suspense, laughter and delicious food and drinks.”
Guests are invited to the wedding of the decade – that decade being the 1930s – and an evening of mystery and Hollywood romance.
“Guests will watch the drama unfold, match wits with the suspects and sift through the clues while enjoying a multi-course degustation menu with paired beverages," says Ms Goodall.
“Most importantly, guests will be tasked with finding the killer before they strike again.”
Gretchen La Roche, Executive Director of The Court Theatre, said she was thrilled by the sellout success of the first murder mystery event on board the scenic train.
“We are honoured to be invited back for three more special events and can't wait to bring another round of mystery and make-believe to more passengers on the Tormore Express".
Book with friends or use the experience as an opportunity to meet new ones, as the carriage tables will be set for four. Dress-up is encouraged.
