Girls Get Spooky: Enchanted Forest Murder Mystery

This Halloween, Girls Get Spooky is heading to an enchanted forest, and you're all invited...

On Sunday 24th October, Girls Get Social will be celebrating our 3rd Spooky Season in style. You guys have been BEGGING for another Murder Mystery and we're so excited to say that it is BACK for 2026!

Mystical creatures and forest animals (girlies) alike from across the West Midlands will be heading to the heart of Birmingham for an all-girl spooktacular at Elmroot Forest! Our girls will get the chance to uncover a mystery as a collective whilst making friends for life in the process. Expect tricks, treats, drinks, games, extravagant costumes out of the ordinary, and all the girlies coming together for one magical afternoon ✨

The Story:

Each year, beneath the sacred tree of Elmroot Forest, magical creatures gather to honour their ancestors and celebrate the forest's rebirth after a war that nearly destroyed it over a century ago. Once reduced to ash and silence, Elmroot has only recently begun to flourish again, its magic restored and its creatures returned. But beneath the celebration lies unease with tensions thick. The powerful Elven Council governs access to magic, a newly discovered plant of unknown power is under strict control, and whispers of unrest linger between factions long divided by war.

As the moon rises, a sudden shattering cuts through the festivities. What follows sends unease through those gathered together, and before long, death casts a shadow over the celebrations. As Elmroot begins to wither once more and its ancient protective barrier is set to collapse by the eighth hour of night, suspicion spreads quickly. Secrets surface, alliances fracture, and time is running out.

Who can be trusted? What truly happened beneath the sacred tree? The last leaf clings to the bough as the stars veil their faces. With all these questions left unanswered, can the truth be uncovered before Elmroot falls again?
