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 no more than 90 minutes to complete with walking routes of less than a mile.

We’ve just launched two walking taster trails, our Europa Trail in Belfast and the Newry Taster Trail. There’s still 17-18 clues to solve (rather less than the 30+ clues in our standard length trails in these cities) and you’ll get to see interesting places, learn about historic sites and people encountered along the routes, and discover something new! We’ll give you help with two clues if you get stuck. Taster trails are only half the price of a standard walking trail at a bargain price of only £3.50!!

We’re planning a driving taster trail too, and hope to launch it later this year.

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!

Team Events

private detectiveTired of having the same old team building events at pubs / restaurants? Looking for a new, fun, and very affordable idea for hen & stag days or for a college / uni event? Then why not have a murder mystery themed event with one of our Whodunit Hunt trails!

The cost per booklet of our walking Whodunit Hunts is £6.99 and (standard length) driving Whodunit Hunts is £7.99 if sent by email only (or Euro equivalent)… so very affordable for a team event!

But we’ll give some discount for buying multiple copies of a Whodunit Hunt trail, depending on the number of copies needed. If you want us to print (on premium quality paper) and post your booklets then the discount will, at the least, offer you free printing and reduced or free postage.

For a team event we advise having teams of 2-3 people (although four is okay too) with one booklet per team. Booklets provided will have a unique case id allowing each team to submit an answer. After purchase, we’ll supply guidance on running your event and indicate the best place(s) for your teams to meet near the starting point of the chosen trail.

The photo shows an example booklet. If printing the booklets yourself, click this printing link for guidance.

Payment is by either card or Paypal – we’ll supply payment instructions when you’ve concluded the details of your event.
