Help Solve The Mystery Of The Last Hours Of Laura K

What if Big Brother could solve your murder?

Big Brother is watching you. For some, those words offer a chilling endorsement of modern life: you cannot go anywhere without your every movement being tracked in some way, and thanks to the ceaseless advance of social media, you're actually offering a very clear picture of your life even without the cameras. But what if that record and your digital imprint could be uses as evidence? What if they were the only ways to find out what happened to you... Or worse, who killed you? That's precisely the thinking behind new BBC Writers interactive mystery The Last Hours Of Laura K, an immersive digital experience designed to get the audience to put the pieces of the puzzle together themselves. Using 24 hours of footage from a fictional surveillance programme, the disconcertingly intimate, unfiltered and impartial portrait looks into the last hours of victim Laura K's life before she was killed. The Project is now live on www.TheLastHoursofLK.com and allows users to find clues, motives and hopefully the killer by looking at key characters€™ digital lives via their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram profiles (which already number forty) and a narrative news blog. This is multimedia story-telling for generation now, and it's up to the audience to fill in the blanks and solve the mystery. Get involved...

A small band of writers - brought together by BBC Writersroom and undeterred by sluggish broadband - dreamt up an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery for the modern world.
