Get ready to channel your inner detective and solve a spooky City Wide Murder Mystery around Lincoln!

Chester Monte, the country's most talked-about politician, was found dead on a quiet street just hours before a live TV debate that could have won him the Lincoln Mayoral election. No murder weapon in sight, no witnesses, and six people with every reason to want him gone.

This Halloween, it's up to you and your team to solve this murder case.

I'm Puzzled is bringing the UK's biggest outdoor murder mystery to Lincoln - a murder mystery trail through the Bailgate, the Cathedral quarter, Steep Hill and the Brayford, where you'll gather evidence, question suspects, and piece together exactly what happened to Chester Monte.
