They kept the surprise from the guest of honour
Six weeks of planning behind her back and the first she knew was a stranger handing her an envelope at the table. The team coordinated with the restaurant directly so I didn't have to lie more than once. Flawless.

They wrote my father into the story
For his seventieth. I sent them a page of family detail and they came back with a case built around a fictional version of his old firm. He worked out the ending, of course, because he always does, but he was visibly moved that anyone had gone to that trouble. My mother cried. Worth every zloty, euro, whatever you're paying in.

Genuinely bespoke, not a template with our names in it
I'd half assumed 'written for your group' meant find-and-replace. It didn't. The motive, the suspects and the final scene were built from a call we had six weeks earlier, and two of the characters were affectionate parodies of people in the room.
