There has been a MURDER….
On the 1st August the circuit staff and stewards alongside their families were invited to take part in the Great British Bump Off, Murder Mystery on Zoom!
10 Characters, including Cherry Cake, Ted Pudding and Pru Vingbag to name a few, coming from all around the country to see who killed Shaw G. Pudding, the stand in judge whilst Paul Hollywood is away. He ended up with a knife in his back but who had done it!
This Murder Mystery was organised by a small group of staff and stewards, looking at how we could do a few more fun things online. The small groups including Sue Taylor, Suzanne Bridges and Hilary Deakin. In those conversations we talked this idea of running a Murder Mystery, however we hadn’t done this online, so rather that trying it out on you… we tried it on staff and stewards!
There were a lot of laughs during the evening especially at accents and some of the things that might not have gone quite so well. But after a couple of hours, some delicious looking homemade cake (it is a bake off!) and some great detective work, people pointed their finger at which character they thought was capable of murder.
The reveal was made. Around 1/3 of people got the correct murderer, congratulations to them!
The plan going forward with this is to gain feedback and have a look at how we might run the evening going forward. If that is all positive and we think we can run a murder mystery online, you will be invited to take part. So keep an eye out if this sounds like an interesting activity for you to do.
