Crime Viral: Can You Catch A Serial Killer?
THE UK’S FIRST INTERACTIVE SERIAL KILLER INVESTIGATION
Join the investigation in ‘Can You Catch a Serial Killer?’ Step inside real-life cases through dramatised crime scene mock-ups, criminal profiling, investigative techniques, forensic evidence, and simulated autopsies. You’ll connect the dots, analyse the clues, and catch a killer – LIVE!
Hosted by serial killer expert Cheish Merryweather, this immersive experience features fictionalised reconstructions, audience voting via CLiKAPAD and high-pressure investigative simulations. Cheish challenges you to make critical decisions before the killer strikes again.
Recommended age 16+. Contains intense themes, realistic crime scene reconstructions, and graphic simulated autopsy material.
LIVE VOTING
When you arrive at The Old Woollen, you’ll be directed to where you can collect your Clikapad. Each device can be worn securely on a lanyard, so you can keep it with you comfortably while watching the show.
