Your case to crack.

- 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 in Jack Long Park, this 2 km case winds through Inglewood past the Mountie Statue at Fort Calgary, Jam's Diner and the Ironwood Stage & Grill, with suspects to question along the way. Couples, friends and families with teens who want to play detective outdoors get about 90 minutes of clue-gathering. Anyone after an indoor escape room, or a story without a killing, should choose something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this like an escape room in Calgary?
It works like an outdoor escape game. Instead of a locked room, you walk about 2 km on your own phones. You solve puzzles set in the places in front of you and gather clues to work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust.
Is this something we can do in Calgary today?
Yes. There is no time slot to book, so you can start whenever suits your group. You can also pause and continue later if you stop for food or a drink. Plan on about 90 minutes of walking and investigating.
Where does the murder mystery start?
It starts at Jack Long Park, near the Inglewood Child Development Centre. The route covers about 2 km, with stops including the Mountie Statue at Fort Calgary, The Circle of Life Sculpture and Jam's Diner, before you name the killer.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens best. The story centres on a death and asks you to interrogate suspects and weigh their motives, which younger children may find hard to follow or unsettling. Teens who like puzzles can take the lead on cracking the clues.
Can our group play together?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and everyone can follow the case on their own phone. The game is played outdoors, so on a rainy day dress for the weather or pause and pick it up later.
