We love technology and the stuff it can do, so we’re thrilled to partner with A Door in a Wall and Nokia to offer you a chance to experience an interactive murder mystery event where you’ll solve puzzles using NFC technology and some of the cool new features of the Nokia Lumia 925.

The event is called A Shot At Fame and will take place over the weekend of 20/21 July in Central London. Here’s a bit more about the plot that you’ll need to uncover:

Singer-songwriter Anna Coustic was headed for fame and fortune; her soulful summer melodies had won over the TV judges, the viewing public and a record label, who were promising to make her the next big thing. But someone thought her success had gone far enough. Just before an exclusive gig for her biggest fans, Anna is found shot dead in her hotel room; the killer a mystery. Was it an obsessive maniac, a vengeful rival or a murky past that ended her musical ambitions? Only you can find out.

Gather your closest confidants, and master the latest mobile technology to piece together a twisting plot by uncovering clues and characters hidden around central London. A Door In A Wall, in association with O2 and Nokia, are proud to present an innovative new adventure: A Shot At Fame…
