Be Sherlock Holmes For A Day!
Need a fun excuse to get outdoors? Fancy doing something different with friends, family… or a date? Have you played Cluedo®? Ever thought of yourself as a Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple?? If the answer to any of these is ‘yes’, we think you’ll love our Whodunit Hunt trails!
How Does It Work?
A Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided outdoor murder mystery trail. Each takes you to fascinating places of historic, cultural, architectural, and/or natural significance. Solve clues to reveal the guilty suspect who murdered the poor victim, the weapon used for the crime and where it took place. So, like Cluedo® but outdoors… and much more fun with fresh air, a bit of exercise, and most of all the opportunity to discover amazing places, people, and lovely scenery! Some could be right on your doorstep and you never knew they existed! If you’re a tourist or at a place new to you, our Whodunit trails are a great way of seeing several great places without you needing to research!
A Bit More Detail…
We’ll tell you where to begin your Whodunit murder mystery and provide directions detailed enough to get you around the clue route without a map. By the end, you’ll have hopefully correctly concluded the case. If you get stuck, an email clue-help service is available. Once you’ve bought a trail you can do it on any day that you want!
Solve these different types of clues to crack the case:
Suspect clues – names found in a variety of places, such as information signs or on grave stones; some may even be anagrams!
Weapon Clues – weapons to eliminate are identified by a two-digit evidence ID: this may relate to a date, a measurement … or a maths sum!
Location Clues – rather than a room (as in Cluedo®) these are types of places passed or seen on maps/signs, such as a museum or a cafe.
For extra fun, there are Super Sleuth clues for those with a keen eye to spot too! Try to find four picture clues on your clue trail. They’ll boost your score on our online leader board! But you don’t need to find them to solve the murder mystery.
Where Are Our Whodunit Hunts?
We’re focused on murder mystery fun on the island of Ireland, both north and south of the border. Our trails cover lots of counties already, and detectives continue gathering evidence for you to help solve crimes in additional regions. On a Whodunit Hunt we’re sure you’ll discover new, interesting and amazing facts about any area and see fascinating places!
Our Walking Whodunit Hunts are at a single place – a city, town, or a village. Others are driving murder mysteries where you’ll need a vehicle to go from one place to another… or bikes for fit cyclists!
