If you have access to a vehicle / motorbike (or are a super cyclist) then try a multi-location driving Whodunit Hunt! They all take you to several amazing places, include lovely scenery, and reveal much history too. Some are circular routes (i.e. start and end points are nearby) while others are linear. Directions are given along the route, though sometimes you’ll be on the lookout for signs to navigate to a clue.
Note: if you live a way along the clue route of a Whodunit Hunt you fancy trying but it’s inconvenient to drive to the start, simply begin with the clue that is closest to you and, once you get to the end, drive to the start and solve the rest of the clues!

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 is spread across several clue stops. Check individual Whodunit Hunt pages for full details.
On Driving Whodunit Hunts, the majority of clues are not far from where you park, so if accompanied by a dog it can be left in the car if you wish. Very occasionally, several clues are at one stop and in such cases it is best to take your pet with you – maybe your dog can help sniff out one or two clues! 🙂
See the map below for Whodunit Hunt locations – driving murder mysteries available are indicated by a purple car symbol. Those coloured orange are for future lauunch – if you’re interested in hearing about any of them, please contact us and we’ll email you when they’re available.
