CASE #01 / YOUR MISSION

Your city. Your suspects.
Your case to crack.

Turn an ordinary outing in Bergen into an outdoor investigation. Follow the clues on your phone and piece together a fictional crime with your people.
  • Real streets
  • Fictional crime
  • App-guided play

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

Couples on a date night, friends and families with teens who would rather solve a murder than watch one staged over dinner. Over 2.2 km and about 1 hour 40 minutes, you question suspects in a travel blogger's death between the Old Town Hall, the Kode museums and the Ibsen statue. Anyone after a warm indoor escape room, or a story with no body in it, should pick something else.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Sentrum, Bergen 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 2.2 km from Sjøfartsmonumentet, past Torgallmenningen, KODE Art Museums and Composer Homes, and Christies gate, 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.

A little clarity before you go

Frequently asked questions

Is this a murder mystery escape room?
It works like an escape room taken outdoors. Instead of a locked room, you walk 2.2 km between 12 stops in Sentrum, gather clues, interrogate suspects and solve puzzles set in the places in front of you, all on your own phones.
Is there a murder mystery game I can play in Bergen?
Yes. This self-guided game runs through central Bergen. A travel blogger was found dead during a ghost tour, and you decide whether her boyfriend, the theatrical ghost tour guide or someone else did it. There is no guide or group to join, so you start whenever you like.
Where does it start and finish?
It starts at the Sailor's Monument and finishes at Torgallmenningen, so you end up back where you began. Along the way you pass the Ludvig Holberg Statue, Old Town Hall, Bergen Kunsthall, the Kode buildings, Regnbueplassen, Bergen Kino and the Henrik Ibsen statue.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Most players take around 1 hour 40 minutes, walking and puzzles included, over 2.2 km. You can start at any time without booking a slot, and you can pause the game and continue later if you want a coffee break.
Can we play as a group, and is it suitable for kids?
One ticket covers the whole group playing together. The story centres on a death and questioning suspects, so it is aimed at adults and suits older children and teens who enjoy detective puzzles rather than very young kids.
