Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt: Sherlock In Your Homes

Greetings Detective,

Earlier today, Nicole was murdered in her home!

Your team (1 – 4 people) are detectives assigned to the case. You have background information on 10 suspects, each with a different motive to kill Nicole. You’ll investigate 10 rooms in her house. Your file includes Crime Scene Pictures and Detective Notes for each room. Use them together to solve tricky clues and puzzles. You’ll also need to do some online investigating, and there will be some surprises lined up for you along the way. Solve all 10 rooms correctly and you’ll reveal who the murderer is. You’ll also determine the murder weapon, which is still in the house somewhere.
