What To Expect
Step back in time for the evening to 1859 - 3 years after the arrival of the Pitcairn Islanders in 1856. The scene is set on arrival as you will dine in Kingston's elegantly restored No. 9 Quality Row building (when available) while you help solve the mystery of ‘Who Killed the Surveyor?’ You are the audience and the actors on this tour as the events unfold and the story is woven through a delicious 3 course meal. As a participant, taking the reins of the story is a fantastic way to become immersed in Norfolk's history in an entirely different way. BYO!

A Five-Star, Must-Do Experience

5.00If you’re looking for something truly out of the ordinary during your stay on Norfolk Island, I can’t recommend the “Who Killed the Surveyor” Mystery Dinner enough. It was an unexpected experience—one that completely surpassed our expectations. Without giving anything away (because you really need to experience it for yourself), this tour delivers surprise after surprise. From the moment you arrive, you’re drawn into an immersive story, with plenty of laughter and intrigue along the way. The atmosphere is fantastic, the acting is spot on, and the dinner itself was delicious. I don’t want to spoil any details, but I can honestly say this was a highlight of our visit. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or in a group, this is a night out you won’t forget. If you’re after something unique and memorable, make sure you book this tour. Five stars from us—highly recommended!

5.00What an entertaining evening! I thoroughly enjoyed the characterisations and the interactions - even not knowing others attending. Fully scripted, and led by Deb, the story and investigation unfolded with hilarious embellishment by the characters at times. The dinner was delicious, too. RIP, Charlie...
Great way to spend a night

1.00There was an issue with your instructions and map, so we could not find where the event meeting point was. As we had no phone access at our destination and the booking office was closed we could not get the starting point for this event .. when we finally had some phone access, there was no answer to help us. Total loss of $190 . The booking place would not give us any credit on another excursion.
What a fantastic evening.
