Frequently asked questions
Where does the murder mystery walk in Córdoba start?
It starts at Plaza del Triunfo. From there the app leads you on foot for about 2.3 km, with stops that include Calleja de las Flores, Puerta de Almodóvar, Plaza de Maimonides, Puerta de la Luna and the Torre del Homenaje.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Plan on around 90 minutes, depending on how quickly your group solves the clues. You can pause at any point, stop for a drink or an ice cream along the way, and pick up the investigation later where you left off.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens best. The story centres on a travel blogger found dead during a ghost tour, and you work out who did it by gathering clues and questioning suspects. Younger children may find the theme too dark or the deduction hard to follow.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, and everyone can follow along on their own phones. There is no time slot to book and no group to join, so you start whenever you like.
Is there a live guide or actors, like a murder mystery dinner?
No. The app is your guide: it takes you from place to place, tells the story of each spot and sets puzzles based on what is in front of you. The suspects are questioned in the app, and the whole walk is outdoors, so dress for the weather.
What case do we investigate in Death in the Shadows?
Travel blogger Bella Wanderlust is found dead during a ghost tour. You examine the evidence around her boyfriend Walter Bridges, guide Percy Shadows and other possible suspects.
Is this like a murder-mystery dinner or an escape room?
You become the detectives outdoors, following app-guided evidence and puzzles through the city. 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.
