Our Story

At Red Herring Events, we believe every gathering deserves a dash of mystery and a whole lot of fun. Our journey began with a simple love for storytelling and a knack for bringing people together in creative, unforgettable ways. Founded by Joanne Smedley, whose background blends writing, game design, event management and of course, creating murder mysteries for all to enjoy. We set out to transform ordinary events into immersive experiences where guests don their detective hats and become the stars of the show.

What inspires us? It’s the thrill of watching teams crack the case, friends turn into suspects, and laughter echo around the room as everyone gets swept up in the story. We’re passionate about crafting bespoke murder mystery games—written in-house. Whether it’s a corporate team building day, a birthday celebration, or a hen party, our mission is to create memories that last long after the mystery is solved.

With over 200 talented freelance actors and a small, dedicated core team, we’ve brought immersive mysteries to clients all across the UK. Our commitment to quality, creativity, and a touch of playful humour is at the heart of everything we do—because we don’t just host events, we create adventures.

Fab organisation & service

It was a pleasure organising this event alongside Red Herring Games. Joseph, Keiron, and Tippy were all an enormous help in the organisation, planning, and delivery of our evening. The actors were so accommodating to our needs and very flexible to work around an unpredictable evening. Thank you so much to everyone involved in our evening, all our guests were very pleased and we hope you had as much fun as we did.

A fantastic evening of murder mystery in our own home!.. actors Philip and Liam provided a night which has been the talk of the guests ever since. Only criticism is the lack of communication from the office prior to the event… a couple of courtesy emails/calls of reassurance beforehand would have been nice and the actors were unsure of a few details on the night which should have been relayed to them prior to the evening. Other than that it was brilliant night!!

Brilliant Evening was had by all.

The evening was great. I was a bit nervous when your actor, Rayyah, handed out scripts, however I had no need to be because Rayyah made everyone feel at ease and in no time at all people were ad libing the script. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed it and how good Rayyah was. I really made my birthday that extra bit special. Thank you.
