“Outwit, out-scheme, out-bluff!” An immersive murder mystery night has arrived in Perth
As the end of the year looms closer, we’re filling up our calendar with quality time with friends, family and work pals…
And sure, a few drinks and a cheeseboard may be a reliable way to spend an evening – what if there was a dose of murder, mystery and mayhem added to the mix?
The brainchild of WAAPA-trained actor and creative director Mike Drysdale, Folklore is ready to challenge you to “outwit, outscheme, outbluff” your nearest and dearest with their new immersive and interactive murder mystery nights!
Folklore’s signature mystery, Monster Hunt, is set to transport you to a medieval village being stalked by a malevolent creature – and with you and your friends each taking your pick from the deck of characters, every mystery will unfold in a uniquely chilling way depending on your choices.
“When you play one of our games, you don’t just solve the mystery – you make the mystery,” explains Drysdale.
“Every role comes with its own secrets and you ultimately get to choose how you want to approach the quest. Will you be seduced by the powers of evil, or will you be a force for good to uncover the wicked truth?”
“Folklore will make you question everything you think you know about your friends and it may leave you wondering who you can trust, but how often do you get an opportunity to revel in how good it feels to be bad? And I can guarantee you will walk away with deeper friendships than you came in with.”

Perfect for groups of between eight and 15 players, the two 60 minute games are facilitated by an expert storyteller, so you don’t need any preparation or experience. And to make things even easier, they’ll come to you – whether you’re playing from the comfort of your living room or another enigmatic location.
“We really pride ourselves in walking the line between complexity and accessibility when
designing our games,” continued Drysdale.
“There’s no one way to be a good Folklore player. In fact, the contrasting styles of leading, interrogating, information gathering, chaos generating, politicking, and puzzle solving make the game what it is.”
“However, the desire for information and the ability to have private conversations is the perfect ice breaker for less familiar or quieter players. Folklore games are designed for inclusion and communication from the jump.”
