If you have access to a vehicle / motorbike (or are a super cyclist) then try one of our multi-location driving Whodunit Hunts! They all take you to several interesting places, include lovely scenery, and reveal much history along the way. Some are circular routes (i.e. starting and ending at the same place, or nearby) while others are linear. Directions are given as you progress along the route, though sometimes you’ll have to keep your spy senses on the lookout for signs to navigate to a destination!
We have 27 Driving Whodunit Hunts currently available, with many more in the pipeline (some coming soon). Click on a location link of those already available for more detail:

As with Walking Hunts, the majority of clues on driving Whodunits are accessible for wheelchair users, or those with prams, as our detectives have determined routes with as few steps as possible. The amount of walking on a Driving Hunt is usually less than Walking Hunts and is also spread across a number of clue stops. Check individual Whodunit Hunt pages for full details.
On Driving Whodunit Hunts, the majority of clues are not far from where you park, so if accompanied by a dog it can be left in the car if you wish. Very occasionally, several clues are at one stop and in such cases it is best to take your pet with you – maybe your dog can help sniff out one or two clues! 🙂
