It's back after last year's success! Mr John Winner is found dead at his house on the anniversary of his huge lottery win. But was it murder? Who bears a grudge? Who has the motive?

You become the detective and you solve the case in this interactive murder mystery show that's back after last year's rave reviews. Now it's your chance to solve the case.
