Murder in the Graveyard: A Murder Village Improvised Whodunnit at Victorian Trades Hall

Bring out your dead! Melbourne's award-winning improvised whodunnit returns just in time for Halloween, and this time there is a spooky twist.

With over 200 Murder Village mysteries improvised to date, there are many dearly departed denizens that have made their mark on the village. Until now, the dead have stayed buried – but in Murder in the Graveyard, Murder Village’s most diabolical and beloved residents will rise from their graves. Of course, in a place like 1954 rural England, there is every chance that someone might send them straight back six feet under again…

Murder in the Graveyard: A Murder Village Improvised Whodunnit weaves a ghostly and hilarious All Hallows’ Eve whodunnit from your ideas. You suggest the clues, the weapons and the mystery’s title. Most importantly, you decide which of these recently returned residents will kill, and who will once again shuffle off their mortal coil. It’s a new mystery every night, because no matter how many times you visit, no two graveyard plots are the same.
