An Immersive Murder & Mystery Experience at Le Mansfield

When storytelling, performance, fine catering, and hospitality collide, the result is unforgettable. This was precisely the case during a recent immersive murder and mystery dinner experience produced at Le Mansfield, in collaboration with Félix Fournier, also known as Félix de la nuit.

The evening began with an elegant cocktail reception, allowing guests to mingle, discover the space, and subtly step into the narrative before the intrigue fully unfolded. As the story progressed, guests were seated for a refined three course dinner, carefully paced to align with key moments of the mystery. Set within Mansfield’s historic walls, the event transformed the venue into a living stage, where guests were not merely spectators, but active participants in a suspense-filled and immersive dining experience.

A Historic Venue Turned Theatrical Playground

With its heritage architecture, soaring ceilings, and timeless character, Le Mansfield provided the perfect backdrop for a classic whodunit. The space naturally evokes grandeur and intrigue, elements essential to immersive murder mystery formats. Candlelit tables, dramatic lighting, and carefully staged moments blurred the line between reality and performance, allowing the story to unfold seamlessly from cocktail hour through dinner.

Rather than a traditional seated show, the experience invited guests to move, observe, question, and connect clues as the plot thickened. Mansfield’s flexible layout made it possible to guide the narrative through multiple scenes and atmospheres, all while maintaining an elevated cocktail and dining experience.

Félix de la nuit Storytelling with Edge and Elegance

Known for his darkly poetic universe and immersive approach, Félix Fournier brought depth and intensity to the evening. His ability to weave mystery, tension, and subtle humor created a refined yet thrilling ambiance, perfectly aligned with Mansfield’s identity. Characters emerged organically from the crowd during the cocktail reception, secrets were whispered between courses, and guests found themselves emotionally invested in the outcome of the night.

This format encouraged genuine interaction. No two tables experienced the story in quite the same way. Each guest became part of the investigation, making the event deeply personal and highly memorable.

A New Way to Experience Corporate and Private Events

This murder mystery cocktail and three course dinner is a strong example of how immersive experiences can elevate corporate gatherings, private dinners, and brand activations. Beyond entertainment, the format encourages collaboration, conversation, and connection, key elements for impactful events.

At Le Mansfield, these experiences can be fully customized, from narrative development and casting to menu creation, cocktail design, culinary pacing, bar service, and scenography. The result is an event that feels exclusive, intentional, and unlike anything else in Montreal.
