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 and see beautiful 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 all 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 clue stops.
  • The recommended time for this murder mystery, excluding refreshment stops and return journey, is about 5 hours – a great day out!
  • Accessibility – it is generally flat where the clues are to be found, with no steps that must be navigated.

Audleys Castle (C) 2023 Andrea MIf you’re a Game Of Thrones fan, then on some of our Whodunit Hunts you’ll see locations where some of the filming for this multi-series epic actually took place and/or be able to visit other filming locations nearby. 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 – one coming soon, watch this space!

Be Sherlock Holmes For A Day!

Looking for a fun and unique outdoor adventure? Whether you’re planning a day out with friends, family, or even a date, Whodunit Hunt trails offer the perfect mix of mystery, exploration, and excitement.

Love playing Cluedo ®? Ever imagined yourself as Sherlock Holmes or Miss Marple? Or just like doing fun activities outdoors? If so, we think you’ll love solving our outdoor murder mysteries!

What’s A Whodunit Hunt?

A Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided outdoor murder mystery trail that takes you on a fascinating journey through places rich in history, culture, and natural beauty! Solve clues to identify the guilty suspect who murdered the poor victim, the weapon they used, and the crime scene location. Think Cluedo® but outdoors… with fun and fresh air, a bit of exercise, and an exciting way to discover new places. You might even stumble upon hidden gems right on your doorstep! Or make sightseeing even more fun when visiting a new area – our Whodunit trails are a great way of seeing lots of great places without you needing to do the research!

How It Works

  • Choose your trail – pick from a variety of locations across Ireland, each with unique clues and routes. Over 60 available!
  • Follow the directions – we provide step-by-step instructions so no map is needed!
  • Solve the mystery – work through the clues to identify the suspect, weapon, and location. If you get stuck, use our email help service for hints.
  • Submit your answer to the Superintendent to see if you’ve cracked the case. If you have, you’ll be entered into our prize draws!
  • Once you’ve bought a trail you can do it on any day that suits you!

Types Of Clues You’ll Solve

Suspect clues – find names on signs, grave stones, or landmarks; some may even be anagrams!

Weapon Clues – eliminate weapons based on two-digit evidence IDs: this may relate to a date, a measurement … or a simple maths sum!

Location Clues – rather than a room, as with Cluedo®, identify real-world locations such as a museum or a coffee shop.

SS Drogheda JFor an extra challenge, keep an eye out to find four Super Sleuth picture clues for an extra entry into our prize draws! But you don’t need to find them to solve the murder mystery.

Where Are Our Whodunit Hunts?

Whodunit Hunts are across Ireland, both north and south of the border, each with their own unique clues and routes. We already have trails in many counties, and our detectives are busy gathering clues for even more locations!

Our Walking Whodunit Hunts are at a single place – on foot at a city, town, or a village.

On Driving Whodunit Hunts, travel between multiple locations by car… or bike for fit cyclists!

Use the options under the ‘Buy & Explore’ menu for details on (and to order) a Whodunit Hunt, with a map to find one at a place that you fancy exploring.
