Lough Neagh

Who Eliminated Neil In The Lough Neagh Area?

Neil Casey from Ardboe has been murdered and our detectives need your help to solve the mystery around his death. Although his body was found floating at the lakeside near Oxford Island the post-mortem confirms he wasn’t drowned and so detectives believe his body was thrown in the lake.

The Lough Neagh Whodunit Hunt starts at Oxford Island and ends at Cranfield Church east of Toome. It is a self-guided, linear driving murder mystery trail.
Visit lovely lakeside villages while taking in beautiful lakeside scenery. You’ll see the finest Irish Cross in Northern Ireland dating back over 1,000 years, a castle, a ruined church and holy well, visit Oxford Island nature reserve… and much more. If you’re a Game Of Thrones fan, there’s a filming location that you’ll stop at along the clue hunt too!
Over 30 clues to solve!
The driving route is 52 miles, or 83 km, with clues spread around the western side of Lough Neagh. There is about 2 ½ miles / 4 km of walking in total during this Whodunit Hunt, spread across all of the clues.
The recommended time for this murder mystery, excluding refreshment stops and return journey, is about 5 hours.
Accessibility – it is generally flat where the clues are to be found, with no steps that must be navigated.

Keep a keen eye out for signs erected for the long-running series!

You’ll pass two filming locations on our Antrim Coast clue route and one on each of our Lough Neagh and St Patrick’s trails. We have at least two other Whodunit Hunts in the pipeline which also pass, and come close to, filming locations… watch this space!

Be Sherlock Holmes For A Day!

Need a fun excuse to get outdoors? Fancy doing something different with friends, family… or even on a date? Did you play Cluedo as a child and fancy an exciting outdoor version!? Ever thought of yourself as a Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple?? If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, we think you’ll love our Whodunit Hunt outdoor murder mystery trails!

How Does It Work?

sleuths having fun A Whodunit Hunt is an outdoor murder mystery trail. Each one will take you to fascinating places of historic, cultural, architectural, and/or natural significance. The objective is to solve a set of clues to determine the guilty suspect who murdered the poor victim, which weapon they used for the crime, and where the murder took place. So, just like Cluedo but outdoors… with much more fun, fresh air, a bit of exercise, and most of all the opportunity to learn about amazing places and people as well as often seeing lovely scenery too! Some could be right on your doorstep and you never knew they were there! If you’re a tourist or at a place new to you, our Whodunit trails are a great way of cramming in several interesting places all in one go without you needing to do the 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 been successful in concluding the case. If you get stuck, an email clue-help service is available to assist.

Along the way you solve different types of clues to reach your conclusion to the crime:

Suspect clues – names found in a variety of places, such as on information signs or grave stones; some may be cryptic, or even anagrams!

Weapon Clues – each piece of weapon evidence is identified by a two-digit evidence ID: this may relate to a date, a measurement … even a maths sum!

Location Clues – rather than a room (as in Cluedo) these are types of places passed on your route or seen on maps/signs, such as a harbour or a restaurant.

SS Drogheda J For bonus points, there are Super Sleuth clues for those with a really keen eye to spot too! Try and 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.
