Antrim Coast

Who Archived Ann At The Antrim Coast?

  • The recommended time for this murder mystery from start to end points, excluding refreshment stops, is 4-5 hours.
  • Accessibility – it is generally flat where the clues are to be found, however the last clue has quite a steep slope down to it which can be slippery after wet weather (though it has been recently improved); sensible shoes for this clue are therefore strongly recommended.

Be Sherlock Holmes For A Day!

Looking for a fun, unique, and great value 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 80 trails 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 crime scene location. If you get stuck, use our email clue help service.
  • 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 of them unique. We already have trails in many counties, and our detectives are busy gathering clues for even more locations and counties!

Our Walking Whodunit Hunts are at a single place – on foot at a city, town, or a village. We’ve also recently launched one for young kids!

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