The Blaydon Races Mystery - Can YOU Solve the Case?

It was a typical day in Newcastle upon Tyne, with runners gathered for the annual Blaydon Race. But this year, something unexpected happened-local pub singer, Jordy 'Canny' Crooner, was assaulted and the race was thrown into chaos. Now, it's up to YOU to join Chief Inspector Howie Haddaway and his team of detectives to eliminate suspects and solve the Blaydon Races Mystery!

Detective Mystery Through Newcastle upon Tyne

Get ready for a fun and family-friendly self-guided Detective Mystery Guide through Newcastle upon Tyne. Starting at Baltic Square, you'll follow the Trail route over the iconic Millennium Bridge, taking in stunning views as you explore both sides of the famous River Tyne. Your adventure will also lead you to lesser-known areas of the city, ending at the Sage.

Along the way, you'll need to use your sleuthing skills to solve the sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. But be warned-this case won't be easy. The runners' superstitions are complicating the investigation, and only the most intrepid detectives will be able to crack the case.

Join the team and help solve the Blaydon Races Mystery today!
