While visiting the London Transport Museum the City Adventurers came across the Murder On The Underground Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle. Eager to try it out we thought it would probably be like any other murder mystery jigsaw puzzle. Read the story and complete the puzzle to solve the crime.
But we were wrong. This was no run-of-the-mill puzzle. This really was more than just a jigsaw and story book.
Murder On The Underground really is a murder mystery puzzle. One that takes some investigation. For a start there was no story book. Instead we were presented with a pile of case notes. We were supplied with an Investigator’s Journal, detailing their conversations with the suspects. There were Police Reports, Toxicology Reports etc so we could piece together the evidence.
And as for the jigsaw puzzle itself? It started off like a normal jigsaw but we soon realised that there were clues we needed to extract from the picture. In addition to the main 750 piece jigsaw, there were also five 50 piece essential evidence puzzles to be completed. Although, truth be told, they were not as much help as we’d hoped for.
At the end of our investigation we were able to submit our findings online. It was possible to get online hints before (and after) submitting your solution. We also liked that you could read about all the suspects at the end and see how their stories tied into the plot.
Recommended as something a bit different. A good plot with plenty to keep us occupied.
