It has to start somewhere. Experience I mean. You can’t just pop up with experience in the bag without actually having done any ground work.

When Joy Swift of Original Murder Weekends (www.murder.co.uk) came to us with her idea wee thought this could be a chance to be part of something very different, very cool and new.

Murder Mystery Investigations was set up with a real time gaming principle in mind. Gamers would spend 2 weeks hunting for clues and evidence as to who the killer (or killers) were. The game had realtime action, videos and extra clues, video evidence and other important components added each day during its live broadcast. Gamers would register for the murder myster and, at the end of the 2 week game, submit their conclusion as to who did it. An scored result was then returned with a range of certificates being available to those who scored well enough.

The first plot, called The Other Side, went live on the 15th March 2010 – with huge interest and thousands of gamers playing it live – but since then many web ’slueths’ have been registering and playing as it is not limited to play live – you can play at a time to suit yourself.

Joy has over 100 plots in her repertoire so wee look forward to being part of www.murdermysteryinvestigations.com for some time…that is, unless we become the next victim in a grisly murder…!
