So much fun! Went to see the show at Peddlers Village last night. The actors are very good, especially at ad lobbing with the crowd. Kate, who played Ms. Hudson was so in character, I feel she would be a great lead in My Fair Lady. I would highly recommend this to anyone in need of a night of laughter and fun! Felt like I was at a show from the 1940s! Marvelous!

Riddlesbrood, during snowmageddon of 2022, drove and hour and a half to salvage my daughters 10th birthday wish of having a murder mystery. To travel during a snow storm, put on a great performance and then put a smile on every girls' face speaks to both their dedication to client satisfaction and their craft. I would book them again in a heart beat!

I cannot rave about our experience with the Riddlesbrood Touring Company enough! We hired them for our company holiday party and the troop performed their "Who Killed Jacob Marley" act. Well, it was, from start to finish, the funniest and most fantastic murder mystery show ever! All of our staff have said it made it the best holiday party experience they have ever had. The group were so professional and were amazing with their humor and improv. Tremendous all round! Thanks again!

I cannot speak highly enough for the Riddlesbrood Murder Mystery Company! I had scheduled a Murder Mystery at a beautiful Yacht club with friends and family from all over with another company other than Riddlesbrood Murder Mystery Company. While eating hors d'oeuvres in anticipation for a great evening I got a call that the entertainment was 3 hours away in a different state! I was furious beyond words!

In desperation I reached out to Riddlesbrood Murder Mystery Company and to my rescue they came on last minute notice and saved the entire event! Not only did they save the day there performance was absolutely riveting! I've been around the world and I can honestly give them five stars! Look no further than Riddlesbrood Murder Mystery Company!

We used Riddlesbrood for our fall party. I can't say enough of how great the show was. Guest are still talking about it. If you love Slap Stick Comedy is for you. Our party was a complete success due to the show. All the Actor's and Actresses were fantastic and kept the crowd entertained. I am definitely booking them again.

Hands down these guys were the best every, extremely hilarious and made my Birthday party the best ever! I contacted them last minute and they were able to schedule me in and drove 2 hours to Maryland. The Roaring Funnies Murder Mystery was hysterical! The actors made sure the whole group (16 people) were included in the act and had everyone dying laughing! I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

If you are looking for a memorable event for adults Ryan is your man! All the guests loved them and wanted to hang out all night. We did not want the show to end! Thank you so much for making my Birthday so memorable and amazing! My friends are still talking about it today.

I had Riddlesbrood performers throw game show theme event for my wife's 60th birthday. And they did not let me down, they were incredible. They performed for 90 minutes and it seemed to go by too fast. Everyone at the party remarked on how much fun they had and asked how I found these guys. I'd hire these guys again in a heartbeat!
