The Jolly Brolly Mystery is a fun way to explore Bristol while solving a murder mystery - even on rainy days. The goal is to find the murderer, but to do this you need is a Jolly Brolly, which is a clever umbrella that serves as your game assistant and guide.

Whenever it rains the “Clue Box”, that unlocks information to solve the mystery will show up at a new location in the city. You need to find the clue within 12 hours. The Clue Box will know when you are nearby and you will get a tip online telling you in which part of the city to look.

As you pass through the city with your Jolly Brolly, the gps inside your clever umbrella allows you to collect points each time you check into a different zone of the city. Earning points will buy clues that help you narrow in on the murderer. You can also earn points by solving missions posted online, and even by submitting missions for other Jolly Brolly players to solve.

All the players who have guessed the right murderer within the given timespan, will win a ticket to the final draw for the winning prize.
