    Cheeky Reaper is delighted to be supporting Improving Lives Plymouth.

    The Plot

    In the gritty port city of Plymouth, 1929 – an era defined by razor gangs and impending chaos – brothers Arthur and Edward Stone have clawed their way to the top.

    From humble origins, these local boys now command the docks and control the city’s criminal underbelly.

    Their empire culminates at their private club, The Stone House, a haven of illicit deals and dangerous secrets.

    But a murder reveals a new game, one where they are no longer the masters of the board, and the only winning move is betrayal.

    Join the cast of Cheeky Reaper Murder Mystery for an unforgettable evening of fun and deduction – will you uncover the culprit?

    Courtroom Live – Honiton

    EVENT: Cheeky Reaper presents “Courtroom Live”
    WHERE: The Beehive, Honiton, Devon
    WHEN:  Saturday 06 March, 2027

    Could YOU deliver a verdict in a real trial?

    This is not a murder mystery in our usual vein. Neither is it a made-up storyline. It’s a re-imagining of a real case, with real evidence and real arguments. And you’ll be sitting on the jury.

    Courtroom Live plunges you straight into the high-stakes case of Jason Tyler, a well respected vet suddenly accused of killing his wife. Based on a true case, this gripping interactive experience blurs the line between fiction and reality from the moment you take your seat.

    You are no longer a spectator, you become part of the trial itself. Throughout the evening you will listen to powerful opening statements, hear raw and conflicting testimony from key witnesses and examine the evidence laid out before you.

    Nothing is off-limits, you can question the witnesses directly, challenge their stories and even cross-examine Jason Tyler himself as he sits in the dock fighting for his freedom.

    Every answer could shift your opinion. Every piece of evidence might hide a darker truth. Motives, alibis, secrets and lies will all come under the spotlight as the case unfolds in real time around you.

    When the final arguments have been heard, the decision rests entirely with you. Guilty or not guilty, Jason Tyler’s fate is in your hands.

    Cheeky Reaper’s immersive courtroom experience puts the audience at the heart of a recreated historical trial.

    ⚖️ Hear the evidence
    ⚖️ Question the witnesses
    ⚖️ Debate the facts
    ⚖️ Deliver your verdict

    Then discover the actual outcome of the original case – and find out whether you got it right.

    This fully interactive live courtroom experience is brought to you by Cheeky Reaper where the drama is real, the tension is electric, and the verdict is yours alone.

    It’s dramatic, thought-provoking and surprisingly tense. Quite different to our other murder mysteries.

    And yes… the responsibility feels very real!

    Would you convict? Or would you acquit?

    His bait? A grand dinner unlike anything the city’s elite has ever seen.

    As champagne flows, tension simmers beneath the silverware. Every guest hides something, every toast could be their last, and somewhere beneath the laughter, the killer waits to strike again.

    Before dessert is served, Dirk must unmask the murderer – or become the final course in their deadly feast.

    King Magnus is dead and the Vikings aren’t mourning, they’re celebrating! Tonight his son Erik will be crowned and wed to his betrothed Astrid before the mead runs dry.

    Most of the hall is roaring approval – but a few are muttering that the old king’s exit was suspiciously tidy.

    Long-suffering sister, Frida, has watched her brother claim the ships, the glory, and now the crown – and her patience is wearing thinner than last winter’s boots.

    Astrid The Fair, only wants to do right by her new people, though the scheming of the hall may prove rougher than she expects.

    And then there’s the strange goat keeper who’s wandered in from nowhere, reeking of mystery and livestock, with far too much interest in royal affairs.

    As vows and poorly timed toasts collide, only Helga The Law Speaker can stop this band of Vikings turning a coronation into a full-blown shield-wall brawl and, before the night is out, another Viking will enter Valhalla….
