Born out of Buckt
Buckt was the spiritual forefather of MTC - both being founded by Dan Bridgewater. Buckt proved that people loved mystery things to do, but they wanted more community and opportunities to make friends.
What Next?
When Buckt came to an end, it left a gap - and an opportunity for something new.
Isolation, Belonging and Making Friends
After discussing belonging and making friends with others, he realised that Buckt could have been the solution.
MTC Launches Within 3 Months
From this spark of an idea, MTC came to life within 3 months - launching in Birmingham, London and Manchester.
Founded by Daniel Bridgewater
Mystery Ticket Club was created by Daniel Bridgewater - serial entrepreneur, public speaker and trainer. Before MTC, he founded Buckt - the UK’s only mystery ticket subscription. After delivering over half a million tickets and experiences to people across the country with Buckt, Daniel realised that the real magic wasn’t just discovering great events, but connecting with people through a shared experience.
That spark became the foundation of Mystery Ticket Club: a place where curiosity, community, and connection collide.
A Background in Business, Leisure and the Community
Daniel started his career running the marketing department for a national leisure brand before turning his skills to the community. He launched Fourth Wall, a social enterprise that delivered training programmes with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Through his work in the community and business, Daniel has had the honour of visiting Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street twice, as well as winning a number of awards.
The Mystery Ticket Club is part of a wider group of leisure companies - all built with the aim of helping people have great experiences.
Our Hosts Rob and Brandon
Every great night needs great hosts — and ours bring the magic every time.
Rob and Brandon lead our events in Manchester and London (with Dan leads them in Birmingham), turning quiet rooms into roaring laughter and turning strangers into teammates. They’re the driving force behind that “you had to be there” energy that makes every Mystery Ticket Club event unforgettable.
Rob (Manchester)
Rob has been hosting corporate, public, and private events for over 13 years and now joins Mystery Ticket Club as one of our Manchester hosts. After 20 years balancing performance with a desk job, he’s now a full-time entertainer—and loving it! He’s also an actor, model, and content creator who enjoys comedy, theatre, and dog walks.
Brandon (London)
Brandon enjoys skiing, golf, DJing and music production as well as a keen interest in UK underground music.
As an actor who loves the arts and entertainment, he hopes to equally experience all the joys of the Mystery Ticket Club with its brilliant members.
And our MTC Team and Council Members
