The story

As a true Sherlock you combine logic and people skills with field work to reconstruct what happened. Search the city for the murder weapon, win the trust of witnesses and hear their testimony about the culprit. Photograph possible crime scenes – and make sure no other detective takes the credit.

Forget crime novels, CSI and Cluedo: this game turns any team event, anniversary or hen party into an adventure.

How does it work?

  • Each team gets a GPS tablet. It shows the clues and witnesses scattered across the city.
  • Follow your opponents live. Spy on other teams and try to steal a clue from them.
  • Race to the police station. Know the culprit's first or last name, or the weapon? The first to guess correctly scores bonus points.

Who is it for?

Anyone who can use a smartphone or tablet can play. Love suspense, strategy and teamwork? You'll feel like you're on the set of a real murder mystery film.
