ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) --  The Main Street Saint Joseph and the Wayward Dreamers Guild are looking for local mystery lovers, detectives and investigators to take part in "The Great Detect-Off".

The Downtown Murder Mystery Walk Fundraiser will take place from 3 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15.

In "The Great Detect-Off", Sherlock Holmes has been murdered, and it’s up to the community to find out who did it.

Participants will be able to interview an assortment of pop-culture detectives, collect clues over the course of an evening while exploring Downtown St. Joseph and combine it all into a theory- shocking everyone.

The investigation will begin at the Downtown Concession building, and participants will check in, get a wristband, a location map, and the first clue. All participants must check in no later than 5:30 p.m.

A reenactment of the murder will take place at 6:45 p.m. at the Downtown gazebo in Coleman Hawkins Park. The reenactment will be followed by a costume contest and prizes.
