In the heart of Madrid, a shared tapa dinner becomes the setting for an interactive murder mystery: gather a group, take on roles assigned by a guide, and solve a staged crime while you eat and drink. The activity is delivered in several package tiers and runs roughly a couple of hours, making it an easy evening that can lead straight into Madrid’s nightlife.

Outing Highlights

THE GAME

Role‑playing whodunit at the table

Every participant receives a role and the materials needed to play; the mystery unfolds across the dinner service so conversation, deduction and conviviality happen between tapas and drinks.

THE FOOD

Shared Spanish tapas and curated drinks

Packages include a shared tapas dinner with drink allowances that increase by tier: standard options include beer, wine, sangría or soft drinks, while higher tiers add premium wine and additional drinks.

THE AFTERPARTY

Churros and a route into the pub crawl

Top‑level packages end with churros con chocolate and either include a guided pub crawl or offer a steep discount to join it after dessert, extending the evening into Madrid’s bars.

What the day feels like

What the night feels like

You meet in central Madrid and are briefed by a guide before sitting down to a shared tapas dinner. Over two to three hours the group moves through the scripted mystery—clues, accusations and character play occur between courses—then, depending on the package, you either finish after dessert or continue with churros and a guided pub crawl into the night.
