About this quest
Forget every ghost story you've heard about this city. This Halloween, ten restless spirits are loose on its streets. 👻 No history book knows their names. No tour guide has heard of them. Most are just lost souls. One is lying to you. 💀
A hooded Oracle needs a ghost hunter. Every spirit is stuck on unfinished business: solve its mystery, catch it, and it gives up a clue. Follow the trail across town, crack ciphers and riddles (some only the street itself can answer), then name the Evil One and destroy it before it finds you. 🕷️
Is this for you?
Who it's for
From Grove Street Illuminated by the Boise Canal, this 2 km trail passes the Basque Museum, the Idaho Liberty Bell and Cecil D. Andrus Park as you crack ciphers to catch ten spirits in around 90 minutes. Friends who would rather solve a case than follow a guide, and families with older kids, will enjoy it. Skip it if you want real paranormal investigation or a guide telling stories.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a haunted tour of Boise?
It is a self-guided haunted walk you play on your phone. The trail takes you past places such as the Idaho Liberty Bell, Cecil D. Andrus Park, the Basque Museum and Cultural Center and the Boise State Esports Arena, where you solve each spirit's mystery to earn a clue.
Is this a real paranormal investigation?
No. The ten spirits are invented for this Halloween story, so no history book or tour guide knows their names. You play a ghost hunter working for a hooded Oracle, solving riddles and ciphers to catch each ghost and finally name and destroy the Evil One.
Where does the ghost hunt start and how long does it take?
You start at Grove Street Illuminated & Boise Canal. The route covers about 2 km and takes around 90 minutes. You can pause at any point and continue later, so there is no need to finish in one go.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
There is no fixed start time and no guide to meet, so you begin whenever you like, Halloween night included. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and you solve the puzzles together as you walk.
Is it good for kids?
It suits older kids and teens who enjoy puzzles and a spooky story. The ciphers and riddles take some thinking, some can only be answered by looking closely at the street, and the plot ends with unmasking an evil spirit, which may be a lot for very young children.
