Murder! - A live game of Traitors and Innocents

If you have been looking for something a bit different to do in Kemptown, there is a game happening at The Actors Pub on 3 April 2026 that might catch your interest. It is called Murder!, and it is essentially a live-action version of the social deduction games that focus on deception and strategy. The event takes place at the pub located at 4 Prince's Street, and it is designed for people who enjoy a bit of social interaction and problem-solving in a relaxed setting.

The session is led by performer Lewie Reed and runs from 12:30 until 16:00. The premise is straightforward: participants are split into two groups, Traitors and Innocents. If you are assigned the role of a Traitor, your goal is to eliminate the Innocents without being caught, while the Innocents have to work together to figure out who is lying. The afternoon involves a mix of challenges, searching for clues about people's identities, and tense discussions around a table where everyone votes on who to eliminate. It is a game of betrayal, and the survivors at the end are the ones who get to claim the prize. Because the game relies on reading people and debating, it creates a specific atmosphere where trust is quite fragile throughout the afternoon.

The entry fee for the event is £15.00, and since it is an 18+ event, you will need to be prepared for that age requirement. It is worth noting that while this specific session is on Friday, 3 April, The Actors Pub has scheduled other dates for the game, including 1 March and 17 May 2026. It is a fairly structured way to spend an afternoon if you enjoy games that rely on social dynamics rather than just sitting back and watching. You can book your spot online if you decide it sounds like your kind of thing. The venue itself is a familiar spot for those who frequent the local theatre scene, and this event adds a different layer to their usual programming.
