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
Couples on a date, groups of friends and families with teens can play detective on a 2.1 km loop from Piața Ovidiu past Portul Tomis, the Casino and the Great Mosque, gathering clues about a travel blogger found dead. It takes around 100 minutes and ends back where it began. Anyone wanting actors to question in person, or with young children who would find a murder plot unsettling, should pick something else.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Constanta 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 Piața Ovidiu, past Ovid Square, National Museum of History and Archaeology, and St. Anthony of Padua Church, 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 Constanta?
It shares the puzzle solving and the race to find an answer, but it takes place outdoors in the streets of the old town. You play on your own phones, start whenever you like, gather clues at each stop and work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts and finishes at Piața Ovidiu, so it is a loop. In between you walk to Portul Tomis, Faleza Cazinoului, the Mihai Eminescu statue, the Casino, the Archaeological Park, the old St Nicholas church, Banca Veche and the Great Mosque.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Most players take around 100 minutes, including walking and solving the puzzles. The route covers about 2.1 km through central Constanta. You can pause at any point and continue later, so there is time for a coffee or a look along the seafront.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers the whole group playing together, which suits couples, friends and birthday or hen and stag groups. There is no set time to book and no group to join. You start whenever you are ready at Piața Ovidiu.
Is it suitable for kids?
It works best for teens and older children who enjoy a detective story. The plot centres on a murder, with suspects to interrogate and clues to weigh up, so very young children may find the theme and the reasoning puzzles less engaging.
What is Death in the Shadows in Constanța about?
Travel blogger Bella Wanderlust is found dead after a ghost tour. You investigate the evidence around Walter Bridges, Percy Shadows and the other suspects to identify the killer.
Is this a murder-mystery dinner or an escape room?
No. You investigate outdoors through real city locations with app-guided evidence and puzzles. It is not a hosted dinner or a locked indoor room.
What do Duo and Fellowship include?
Duo gives access on 2 devices. Fellowship gives access on up to 5 devices, so each included detective can follow the case on their own phone.
