We Didn't Start the Pyre - A Medieval Murder Mystery

6 Jun 2026

Welcome to the town of Dork: your average 14th century village where everyone is about to die.
 

As whispers of plague spread across the countryside, the frightened townsfolk gather at the Dork Inn awaiting the arrival of the mysterious Plague Doctors summoned by the City Council. But while sickness creeps ever closer, rumours of something even more dangerous begin to spread through the village…
 

Witchcraft.

 

In Odyssey Theatre’s newest immersive murder mystery experience, you’ll step into a chaotic medieval world filled with suspicious villagers, questionable medicine, paranoid accusations, and more rats than anyone is comfortable with. Was it the butcher? The baker? The… you get the point. Everyone in Dork has something to hide — and no one is particularly qualified to deal with a public health crisis.

 

Guests will receive unique character roles with hidden objectives, secrets, and alliances as they work together to uncover clues, survive the unfolding chaos, and identify who — or what — is behind the strange events plaguing the town.

 

What to Expect:

  • Immersive Gameplay: Become part of the story with your own personalised character role.
  • Medieval Mayhem: Navigate suspicious townsfolk, terrible medical advice, and escalating hysteria.
  • Interactive Mystery: Uncover secrets, form alliances, and solve the mystery before it’s too late.
  • A Night of Chaos & Comedy: Expect laughs, intrigue, and delightfully questionable decision-making.
