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
On a 1.9 km walk through Bethlehem, you work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust during a ghost tour, questioning her boyfriend Walter and showman guide Percy Shadows over about 90 minutes. It suits couples on a date night, groups of friends and families with teens who like doing the detecting themselves. Choose a seated murder mystery dinner instead if you'd rather stay indoors, or if your children are young.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the murder mystery walk in Bethlehem take?
Plan on around 90 minutes, covering about 1.9 km on foot. The app leads you from place to place, so you set the pace. You can pause at any point and continue later if you want a break for food or a drink along the way.
Is this murder mystery suitable for kids?
It is written mainly for adults, but older kids and teens enjoy it too. The story centres on the death of a travel blogger, with suspects to interrogate and clues to piece together, so it suits young people who like a detective puzzle and can handle a darker theme.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group. You play on your own phones, so friends, couples or families can gather clues and debate the suspects together without paying per person or joining strangers.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. There is no guide and no fixed group, so you can start whenever suits you, whether that is an afternoon stroll or an evening date. Once you begin, you can also stop and pick the case up again later.
Is the game played indoors or outdoors?
It is an outdoor walk through Bethlehem, played on your phone as you move between locations. Dress for the weather, and if rain sets in you can pause the game and carry on when it clears.
