What To Expect

Step back in time for the evening to 1859 - 3 years after the arrival of the Pitcairn Islanders in 1856. The scene is set on arrival as you will dine in Kingston's elegantly restored No. 9 Quality Row building (when available) while you help solve the mystery of ‘Who Killed the Surveyor?’ You are the audience and the actors on this tour as the events unfold and the story is woven through a delicious 3 course meal. As a participant, taking the reins of the story is a fantastic way to become immersed in Norfolk's history in an entirely different way. BYO!

What an entertaining evening! I thoroughly enjoyed the characterisations and the interactions - even not knowing others attending. Fully scripted, and led by Deb, the story and investigation unfolded with hilarious embellishment by the characters at times. The dinner was delicious, too. RIP, Charlie...
Great way to spend a night

There was an issue with your instructions and map, so we could not find where the event meeting point was. As we had no phone access at our destination and the booking office was closed we could not get the starting point for this event .. when we finally had some phone access, there was no answer to help us. Total loss of $190 . The booking place would not give us any credit on another excursion.
What a fantastic evening.

Had a great time at the dinner, we had a great group who really entered into the spirit of the evening. None of us guessed the murderer but was still an amazing time. Well done Rachel out host you did Norfolk island proud.
