Meetups for 2011
-
As much as I'd love to ride Knightmare and "tick it off the list", the reviews I've seen for the Camelot park cast it as being overpriced, unclean and only really fun if you're <10 yrs old. Maybe not the strongest idea for a group of us.
That Spymasters thing crtainly looks interesting and the website does mention that they do Adult Missions (13yrs +). Granted, I've always loved these kind of games. You're right about it being too far away for the sake of an hour though. Perhaps as a part of a larger trawl taking in other venues like this?
Another random thought, if there's a group of us, perhaps have a crack at a professional Murder Mystery? An evening or perhaps an entire weekend. The Killing Game as an example but there are plenty companies out there. ( http://www.killinggame.co.uk/index.php )

Forester and I chatted about a murder mystery. I think it'd be awesome.
But aren't they usually quite expensive?

Can you provide a link?
My suspicion is that it's just a kind of pre-written LARP. In that case, as I've suggested, it's a good idea. However, it should be a separate event.

As an example :- Murder a la Carte
Yes, halfway between a pre-written LARP Lite and a dinner table board game. Good fun providing all players get properly into character (hopefully not difficult for the likes of us! )
Another fun version was a pseudo scavenger hunt put together by Forester (back during one of the RPG projects @ Alstonefield IIRC). Basically trying to find hidden notes giving cryptic clues and plenty Red Herrings (I ended up having one hidden amongst my ponytail!). All the while being stalked by the resident murderer. We find ourselves an interesting venue and try the same idea again?

Ahh, I've always wanted to do a murder mystery
But, being only 2-3 hours long, as with spymasters, I don't see it being suitable to base a trip around. It would work, however, in the evening of such a trip.

I've just had a look at this as a possible means for making more of a weekend of a murder mystery.
The company seem to offer two types of murder mystery:
-
The standard one starts at about 7PM and ends at around 11PM. Cost is £45 each including dinner.
-
The extended one starts at 4PM and ends at around 11PM. Then it continues for an hour or two the next day. Cost is about £135 each including dinner and one night stay in the hotel.

There's the possibility of some of us going to the London Film and Comic Con in Earl's Court on Saturday July 9th - link to the convention's website here: http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com/
Will confirm full details as soon as I can, though people can feel free to reply to this or PM me if they wish.
