Cambridge Murder Mystery Self Guided Detective Walk

About this activity

A famous travel blogger is found dead during a ghost tour in the heart of Cambridge. Her boyfriend claims innocence, the eccentric ghost tour guide is hiding something, and the clues don't add up. Can you crack the case?

You'll gather evidence at 12 real locations winding through Cambridge's historic streets. Interrogate suspects, decode hidden messages, and piece together a web of jealousy and dark secrets.

Every clue brings you closer to issuing your arrest warrant.

Your investigation takes you past centuries-old college buildings, hidden lanes, and landmarks most visitors walk right past, from Trumpington Street to Downing Street. Real local history is woven into every stop.

Start anytime, pause whenever you like, and pick up where you left off. The app provides clues and a map to guide you. Allow around 75 minutes for the full 2.5 km route.

Perfect for couples looking for a unique date night, friends who love true crime, or solo detectives ready to crack the case.
