Description
A playful experience to discover the secrets of Sheffield, a mystery walk similar to an escape room but outdoors! You'll play a detective solving a Murder Mystery as you solve location-based clues in Sheffield.
A local resident has been found dead after playing a mysterious game. The only way to catch the killer? Joining the next round. Solve cryptic and sinister tasks as you work with Sherlock Holmes to try to figure out the identity of the game's murderous creator. Fail, and you might be their next victim.
Your team will receive clues on their phones that, once deciphered, will guide them around a route that showcases it's secret sights and great pubs/bars/cafes. The routes are all walking distance and clues get you working together and interacting with the city surroundings to find the answers, no prior knowledge required.
