What you need to know

Welcome to the wild marshlands of Olde England, where the fog is thick, the ale is warm, and the crimes are ripe for a Halloween Harvest!

Smuggler, Scholar, Scarecrow… Murderer?

The clock strikes midnight over the misty marshes, and the infamous legend of The Scarecrow rises once more. But tonight, something far more sinister than smuggling is afoot. With a blood-chilling crime hanging heavy in the air, one question must be answered: who among these shadowy figures is the killer?

By day, he’s the fiery preacher rallying villagers with his sermons. By night, the same figure takes on his terrifying second life as The Scarecrow, the notorious smuggler turned highwayman. Masked as a gun-toting masked figure, he and his band of buccaneers now hold court, demanding not your riches, but your wits. Held hostage in the heart of the treacherous lowlands, only your detective skills can solve the horrifying mystery that has engulfed this eerie realm.


Get ready to laugh, gasp, and awkwardly accuse your fellow dinner guests in this cheeky interactive comedy mystery from Moneypenny Murder Mystery Productions. Dare you uncover long-buried secrets, question suspects dripping with deceit, and unravel the chilling tale of the feared Pyrate King o’ the Marshland: The Scarecrow!
