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
This downtown loop starts and ends at the Hamilton County Courthouse on Walnut St, passing the Tivoli Theatre, the Courts Building on Market St and Cadence Coffee Company over 2.1 km and around 90 minutes. Couples, friends and families with teens question suspects and solve a travel blogger's murder themselves. Anyone after a seated dinner with actors or an indoor escape room should look elsewhere.
