CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
What started as a romantic speed-dating night turned into a murder mystery.
Just as introductions begin, a chilling scream tears through the crowd, one of the guests has been murdered, and the killer has fled into the city.
Before panic can take hold, Agent X steps forward. This was no random attack. Every participant is now part of a deadly puzzle, and the only way to survive is to solve it.
Was it the charming Yoga instructor who vanished right after the scream? The wedding singer seen arguing with the victim? Or someone else hiding their true identity among the dating profiles?
🔎 Follow clues across the city, interrogate suspects in real locations, and track the killer's movements before they disappear for good.
Bring your sharpest instincts—and your pen and paper. In 90 minutes, the trail will go cold.
Love was the reason you came. Justice is why you stay.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
This edition sends you on foot through Lincoln Park, about 2 km over around 90 minutes, chasing a killer who fled a speed-dating night while Agent X feeds you clues on suspects like the vanished yoga instructor and the wedding singer. Couples, double dates and friends who like cracking a whodunit together will enjoy it. Anyone wanting a seated murder mystery dinner with live actors should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the murder mystery take and how far will we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for about 2 km of walking in Lincoln Park. That time includes following the story and solving the puzzles along the way. You set your own pace, so a couple who lingers or stops to chat may take a little longer.
Can we play as a couple or a group on one ticket?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, so a couple, a double date or a group of friends can play together. Everyone follows the same investigation and works through the clues side by side.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. There is no guide and no fixed group, so you start whenever suits you, whether that is before dinner or on a weekend afternoon. Open the quest on your phone at the starting point and the app leads you from place to place.
Can we pause the game and continue later?
Yes. You can pause, stop for a drink or a meal, and pick up the investigation later from where you left off. That makes it easy to fit the game into a longer evening out in Lincoln Park.
Is this murder mystery suitable for kids?
The story centers on a murder at a speed-dating night and is written with adult couples and friends in mind. The dating theme and the crime plot suit adults and older teens better than young children, who may find the story and puzzles less engaging.
Is Murder Mystery: Crime on Date Night in Lincoln Park, Chicago self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
