Galway Detective Day

About the murder mystery game

Think you have what it takes to catch a killer? A new and exciting outdoor detective game that’s just like a giant version of the board-game Cluedo is happening in Galway on the 29th of February 2020.

The event will transport you back to the 1920’s, where this murder-mystery game will see over 100 teams compete to catch a killer. Will your team of detectives be able to stalk the streets, solve the clues and crack the case in time?

The game takes place throughout the streets of Galway City with players all starting between 10am and 1pm with the last team finishing up before 5pm.

The event is run by CluedUpp mysteries, an award-winning app company and the game is entirely self-guided using the CluedUpp APP so access to a Smartphone (Android or iOS compatible) is necessary. Over 100 detective teams are expected to take part on the day.

Depending on how good a detective team you are, the game should last anywhere between 1 and 4 hours, but the average squad of detectives take around 2 hours 20 minutes to solve the crime.

Prizes are awarded in the following categories:

• Fastest team
• Best fancy dress (Sneaky Finders / 1920’s inspired)
• Best team picture
• Best team name
• Best little detective (kids prize)
• Best K-9 detective (dogs prize)
