During Spring 2025, as part of programme resources, young people in Company & Seniors have been taking part in a national ‘Murder Mystery’ challenge, and the results are now in.
Congratulations to 16th Nottingham, who managed to crack the case in a very impressive 21:47 minutes. This saw them successfully crack a series of puzzles to identify the suspect, weapon, location and motive. To reward the detectives for their hard work, a £50 voucher has been sent their way to help them to celebrate the win.
Congratulations to all those teams that were very close behind in this challenge, with 8 teams managing to crack the case in under 30 minutes, and 30 teams completing the challenge within 45 minutes. The full results can be found in the table at the bottom of the page. Thank you to everyone who took part.
A map, showing all our detective teams across the UK, can be found below.
