After the success of Murder in the Museum and The Christmas Adventure, Cardboard Clues returns to Northampton Museum with an exciting brand-new experience.
What should have been a glamorous movie night has turned into a crime scene…
Step into the role of detectives as your team explores the museum, solving puzzles, following clues, and working together to crack three curious cases.
Using your phone and our interactive companion app, you’ll be guided through the museum to uncover hidden clues and meet quirky ‘cardboard’ characters — suspects, witnesses, and victims alike. Piece together the stories, uncover motives, and put your problem-solving skills to the test.
With challenges spread across the museum and a live leaderboard to track your progress, it’s a fun and immersive experience from start to finish.
The experience lasts around 1.5–2 hours and is perfect for families, friends, and curious minds looking for something a little different.
Ready to solve the mystery? Gather your team and begin your investigation — this is not your typical museum visit… it’s an adventure where you become the detective.
