How It Works
Find a Trail Near You
Search by postcode or town to find a murder mystery trail set in your area. Every trail is built around real streets, real landmarks, and genuine local history.
Unlock Instantly
Pay once. Your trail unlocks immediately on any smartphone — no app download, no printing, no waiting. Just open and walk.
Walk & Discover
Follow the GPS route to 10 real locations. At each stop you'll learn something surprising about the place — then solve a challenge to advance the story.
Name the Killer
Each location earns you a hidden clue. Gather them all, piece together the evidence, and reveal the murderer's identity at the final stop.
A walk. A story. A lesson in local history.
What to Expect
Every trail is built around 10 real locations — the kind of places most people walk past without a second glance. At each stop, the story draws your attention to something genuinely interesting about the place, then sets you a challenge to earn the next clue. No two stops feel the same, and we'd rather you discover what's waiting than have us spoil the surprise.
Real Landmarks, Real History
Every stop is a genuine local landmark — a Victorian market hall, a war memorial, an ancient church, a hidden courtyard. The trail reveals the stories behind them that most visitors never hear.
Varied Challenges at Every Stop
Each location brings a different kind of challenge. We keep the details a surprise — part of the fun is not knowing what's coming next. Expect to think, look closely, and occasionally argue with your group.
The Story Unfolds as You Walk
The murder narrative is woven into the fabric of each location. Characters, motives and evidence emerge stop by stop, so every solved clue feels like a genuine breakthrough in the investigation.
Three Tiers of Hints
Stuck? Each puzzle offers up to three progressive hints — each one a little more revealing than the last. Use them sparingly: hint-free completions earn a Pure Solve badge on the leaderboard.
Perfect for Groups
Buy once and share with your whole group. Everyone follows along on their own phone — same clues, same story, same progress — so no one misses a moment of the adventure.
A Climactic Final Reveal
Every clue you solve earns a hidden piece of evidence. Collect them all, piece together the final puzzle, and name the killer. The answer is always satisfying — and the trail always makes sense in hindsight.
Every trail ends with a killer reveal
The Final Reveal
It's not just a walk. Every trail builds to a climactic final challenge — one that ties together everything you've seen, heard and discovered along the way. We won't spoil it. But when you get there, you'll know.
Unscramble the letters to complete the trail

Real Stories from the Trail
"We did the murder mystery trail as a date night and it was absolutely brilliant. We walked past buildings we’d never noticed before and came away knowing so much more about the town. Already planning the next one!"
"Did the trail with a group of friends and we were completely absorbed from start to finish. What surprised us most was how much we learned about the area — the history woven into the story made every stop feel meaningful. Brilliant value for money."
"The tension builds so well as you go. By the time we reached the final stop we were genuinely debating who the killer was. Solved it without any hints and the Pure Solve badge felt very well earned. Absolutely loved it."
