Frequently asked questions
So what’s the mystery all about?
A chilling crime has shaken old Boston, and the truth is buried in its historic streets. You’ll piece together clues hidden around famous spots and tucked-away alleys to find out who’s behind the murder.
Is this more of a spooky ghost hunt or a detective game?
Think detective story first, with a creepy twist. You’ll feel the suspense, but it’s more thrilling than jump-scary.
Could this work as a different kind of date night?
Definitely. Imagine lantern-lit alleys, secret clues, and solving a whodunit together. It’s a lot more exciting than just dinner and a movie.
Which parts of Boston will we explore?
You’ll wander the North End, old market streets, and hidden courtyards, plus historic landmarks like Old North Church and cobblestoned lanes that come alive after dark.
Is this safe to play at night?
Yes. The route stays in well-known, lively areas. Just use normal city sense and comfy shoes.
Do I need to be great at solving riddles to enjoy it?
Not at all. The puzzles are clever but fair, and there are built-in hints if you want a nudge.
