Most clues are suitable for wheelchair users or those with prams as our detectives have determined accessible routes as far as possible. The amount of walking is usually less than on Walking Hunts and spread across several clue stops. Check individual trail pages for full details.
Note: if you want to try a driving Whodunit Hunt but it’s inconvenient to drive to the start point, simply begin with the clue that is closest to you and, once you get to the last clue, drive to the start and solve the rest of the clues!
On Driving Whodunit Hunts, the majority of clues aren’t far from where you park, so an accompanying dog could be left in the car if you wish. Very occasionally, several clues are at one stop and in such cases it’s best to take your pet with you – maybe your dog can help sniff out a clue! 🙂
The map below shows available driving Whodunit Hunts indicated by a purple car symbol. Those coloured orange are for future launch – if you’re interested in hearing about them, please contact us and we’ll email you when they’re available.
