Frequently asked questions
What is Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows of Atlanta?
It’s a self-guided, outdoor escape game where you step into the role of a detective. You’ll follow clues across iconic Atlanta locations, interrogate suspects, and race against time to solve the murder of Bella Wanderlust—before the killer strikes again.
How does this compare to an escape room or detective game?
Unlike a traditional indoor escape room, this experience unfolds across real city streets. You’ll solve puzzles and gather clues as you walk (about 2.4 km / 3,150 steps) through historic areas—but there’s no physical room or locked doors. Ideal for mystery lovers who want a mobile, immersive adventure.
Is this game suitable for a date night or group outing?
Absolutely. Rated 4.74 out of 5 with over 40 reviews, many call it a standout for date nights or group outings. It’s designed for couples, friends, solo explorers—even teams—offering suspense, storytelling, and clever puzzle challenges on the go.
When can I play? Do I need to book a specific time?
No scheduling needed—you can play any day of the week, all day long. Just download the Questo app, purchase the game, head to the starting point at MODA, and begin whenever you're ready.
How long does the quest take, and how far do I walk?
Typically, expect to spend around 2.4 kilometers, which is about 3,150 steps, as you move through 12 locations. The time varies depending on how quickly you unfold clues and solve puzzles—but expect a dynamic adventure rather than a few minutes of gameplay.
Do I need special tools or equipment?
Just the Questo app and your device—and maybe a pen and paper to jot down clues. Everything else happens outdoors, with the city as your canvas.
