With no public money available to fund the project, Red Herring Games turned to local sponsors and their fellow #SBS winners to help towards the project costs. “We were asked by the National Fishing Heritage centre to produce a themed murder mystery for their space last year, but we wanted to give them something that had a longer duration impact, and this interactive on-line game does that.”

“We wanted to create something lasting from our involvement with the National Museums at Night Project in 2014” Jo Smedley, Managing Director of Red Herring Games said. The new interactive murder mystery game is free to play, and has been created with the help of two other local companies: Chris Lynn, of Chris Lynn Photography who has been creating virtual tours for Google street view, and Alex McCranor of Workimage who produced all the video footage required. This week saw the culmination of their 2014 May project, which began with a custom written murder mystery at the museum, and has concluded with an interactive on-line murder mystery game produced with the help of 360 degree technology. Museums at Night can now be accessed 365 days a year thanks to ground breaking project by Red Herring Games and the National Fishing Heritage Centre from Grimsby.
