Whodunit Hunts Omagh

Omagh-Memorial-Garden-C-11-2024-Andrea-M-WH

Oliver O’Neill has been found murdered in the historic city of Omagh and we desperately need your help to solve the murder. Although the bloody remains of Oliver’s body were found outside the old Wesleyan Chapel on James Street, we believe this was not where the murder was committed; however, clues to this murder mystery start here.

The Omagh Whodunit Hunt is a self-guided, walking murder mystery trail.

Omagh is alas remembered for the 1998 bombing that has resulted in a beautiful memorial garden being created to remember the victims. As well as visiting this garden, you’ll see quite a number of historic buildings on the clue route including beautiful churches, an old stone bridge, and the impressive courthouse. There is a musical interest too at more than one stop!

There are 26 clues to solve, including quite a few picture clues to spot in order to narrow down the case evidence.

The route is only 1 ½ miles / 2 ½ km.

The recommended time for this murder mystery, excluding refreshment stops, is two hours.

Accessibility – this is a mostly fairly flat route, with no steps, but there are some inclines near the start and end points.
