  • 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

Starting at Bunbury Courthouse, this 2.1 km CBD case passes the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre and Centenary Gardens over around 90 minutes, as you question suspects in a travel blogger's death on a ghost tour. It suits a pair after an evening out, or friends who like escape rooms but prefer fresh air. Skip it if you want live actors or have children too young for a murder plot.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • A travel blogger is dead and the trail through CBD, Bunbury 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 2.1 km from Stephen St, past Bunbury Museum and Heritage Centre, St Patrick's Cathedral, and Bunbury Regional Art Gallery, 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is this like an escape room in Bunbury?
It is an outdoor detective game, not a locked room. You play on your own phones while the app leads you between places in the CBD, tells the story of each one and sets puzzles in what is in front of you. You solve the case on the streets instead of indoors.
Can we do it today, or do we need to book a time?
There is no time slot to book and no guide or group to meet. You can start whenever suits you, today included, and if you need a break you can pause the game and continue later from where you stopped.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The game starts at Bunbury Courthouse and takes about 90 minutes. The route covers around 2.1 km on foot through the CBD, with stops including the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre (BREC) and Centenary Gardens.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens who enjoy puzzles and playing detective alongside adults. The story centres on a death during a ghost tour, with suspects to question, so families with younger children may prefer a lighter theme.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the game. Everyone can follow the clues on their own phone, which works well for couples, groups of friends and birthday or hen and stag outings.
