Are you more in the know than Sherlock? Do you always win the family Cluedo game?

If the answer is yes, then grab your deerstalker cap and notebook because it's time to solve a mystery.

A game of live Cluedo is coming to historic Rochester on Saturday, September 21.

A team from Hull solving a Clued Upp (13008726)

The challenge is billed as a cross between Pokemon-Go and board game Cluedo.

Players will be guided by CluedUpp’s phone app in a hunt across the town, locating virtual witnesses, solving clues and eliminating suspects.

CluedUpp’s founder, Tref Griffiths said “We’ve held events in Kent several times before and always have a fantastic turnout.

"We can’t wait to see if our detectives are up to the challenge of solving our hardest case yet!”

Children and dogs are welcome.

People are encouraged to bring their own costumes.

After the killer is caught medals will go to the Best Dressed Team, Best Team Picture, Best Team Name, Fastest Team, Best Little Detective and Best K9 Detective.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and it is expected only 100 team places will be initially released, each place costing £36 per team of six adults.
