Taster Trails

Short On Time? Try A Taster Trail!

Ever thought of trying a Whodunit Hunt but always short on time or weren’t sure how much you’d enjoy it? Or wondered if you’d be ‘good enough’ to solve a case (which really doesn’t matter)? Then try one of our new taster trails! We’ve specifically designed them to take around 90 minutes to complete with walking routes of less than a mile. We’ll give you help with two clues if you get stuck.

There are three walking taster trails now available: our Belfast Europa Trail, a Newry Taster Trail, and brand new for 2026 is the taster trail at Newtownards. There are still 16-18 clues to solve (rather less than the 30+ clues in our standard length trails in these cities) but you’ll still get to see interesting places, learn about historic sites and notable people from these areas, and discover something new!

There are also two driving taster trails too, the Torr Road Taster Trail that starts at the quaint village of Cushendun and the Harry Ferguson Trail which follows in the footsteps of the famous inventor.

So try one of these taster trails and see if you’d like more of our kind of fun… definitely something different to do, for sure! They are at a bargain price of only £3.99!!
