Outdoor murder mystery where teams download an app and follow clues across Lincoln's streets to solve the crime, like an escape room in the open air.
I'm Puzzled are bringing their Murder Mystery Experience to the streets of Lincoln on Wednesday 28 October. It's an outdoor detective game that takes about two hours to play, and the case you're working on is the murder of Chester Monte.
The setup is pretty straightforward: you download an app and follow the clues across the city, which effectively turns the streets into a live crime scene and you into the detective. From there, you're interrogating virtual suspects, checking alibis, cracking codes and piecing together evidence against the clock. It's a bit like directing your own detective film, with you and your team as the leads.
They pitch it as a family day out, a day out with friends or even a solo mission, and it works for corporate groups too. If you're feeling the part, they encourage you to turn up in 1920s detective outfits, which adds a bit of costume to the whole thing. The tickets have no expiry date and can be used on any day of the week, so you're not tied to a specific slot.
Every week we pick 🏆 the 5 best 🏆 things to do in Lincoln and send them to your inbox. Just one weekly email, no spam.

It's £19.99 to £28.99 per group, and the whole thing takes around two hours to get through.
