CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING

The story starts here.

You know the old saying, “The boyfriend did it”? On an ill-fated night, love goes terribly wrong for Bella Wanderlust and Walter Bridges.

Bella, a famous travel blogger, was found dead during a ghost tour led by the theatrical Percy Shadows. Now, it’s up to you to uncover the truth.

Was it Walter, the obsessed boyfriend? Percy, the ghost tour guide with a flair for the dramatic? Or is someone else hiding in the shadows?

🔎 Gather clues, interrogate suspects, and expose the real murderer before they strike again. Make sure to have your pen and paper ready to jot down all the crucial evidence.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Starting at the Old Albury Court House, this 1.8 km walk passes Saint Patrick's Church and Queen Elizabeth II Square while you question suspects in the death of a travel blogger on a ghost tour. Couples on a date night, groups of friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of detective work. Anyone wanting actors and a dinner table indoors should book a staged murder mystery evening instead.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Albury is still warm enough to follow.

  • Read the scene, then read the people, decipher hidden messages and piece the evidence together until the alibis stop agreeing.

  • Twelve stops across 1.8 km from Dean St, past Albury LibraryMuseum, St Matthew's Anglican Church, and QEII Square, on historic streets and in the corners most visitors walk straight past.

  • A date night that is also a killer group activity, played with your partner, a few friends, or alone if you trust yourself.

  • Just your phone, starting whenever you like, with nothing to collect and nobody waiting on you.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Albury murder mystery start?
It begins at the Old Albury Court House. From there the app leads you on foot through 12 stops in the city centre, including Saint Patrick's Church and Queen Elizabeth II Square, telling the story and setting a clue at each one.
How long does it take and how far will we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes to walk about 1.8 km and solve the case. You do not have to finish in one go: you can pause the game, stop for a coffee and continue later from where you left off.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens best. The story centres on a death during a ghost tour, and solving it means weighing clues and suspects' stories, so younger children may find the theme unsettling or the reasoning hard to follow.
Can our group play together, and do we need to book a time?
There is no set time slot and no guide to wait for. Start whenever suits you, and one ticket covers your whole group up to the number of devices stated, so friends or family can investigate side by side on their own phones.
Is it outdoors, and what if it rains?
Yes, the game is played outside as you walk between stops around central Albury. Bring a jacket or umbrella if the weather turns, and remember you can pause the game and pick it up again once the rain eases.
