Your city. Your suspects.
Your case to crack.

  • 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

Over around 90 minutes and 1.9 km of Chandler streets, you work out who killed blogger Bella Wanderlust on Percy Shadows' ghost tour, questioning suspects including her boyfriend Walter. Couples, friends, birthday groups and families with teens get to play detective themselves, outdoors and at their own pace. If you want actors at a seated murder dinner, or a story without a death for young children, choose something else.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Chandler 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 1.9 km from N San Marcos Pl, past Chandler City Hall, Chandler Museum, and Dr. A.J. Chandler Park, 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

How long does the murder mystery take?
Plan on around 90 minutes to cover about 1.9 km on foot while you gather clues, question suspects and decide who did it. Quick teams may finish a little sooner, and nobody is timing you, so you can go at whatever pace suits your group.
Can we play it together as a group puzzle outing?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, and you play on your phones as you walk, comparing clues and debating whether it was Walter, Percy or someone else. It suits friends, birthday groups and hen or stag parties who want an outdoor alternative to an escape room.
Is it suitable for children?
The case centres on the death of a travel blogger and asks you to interrogate suspects, so it fits older kids and teens better than young children. Teenagers who enjoy deduction tend to get the most out of it, along with the 1.9 km walk.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. There is no guide and no fixed group schedule, so you start whenever it suits you. Open the quest on your phone when you are ready and begin the investigation, whether that is a weekend afternoon or an evening out.
Is it played outdoors on Chandler's streets?
Yes, the whole investigation happens outdoors as you walk around 1.9 km of Chandler streets. Dress for the weather. If rain or heat gets in the way, you can pause the game and come back later to finish solving the case.
