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
From the Robert Burns Statue, this case leads 2.4 km across Dundee past March of the Penguins and the Desperate Dan Statue to Chamber East, taking around 90 minutes. Couples on a date night, friends and families with teens question suspects and piece together clues on their phones. If you want an indoor escape room or a staged murder dinner, choose something else, as every clue is found outdoors.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Dundee 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 2.4 km from Albert Square, past The Steeple, Dundee Contemporary Arts, and Courier Pl, 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 there a murder mystery experience I can do in Dundee?
Yes. This is a self-guided detective game played on your phone that starts at the Robert Burns statue and leads you through 11 stops in the city centre. Along the way you gather clues and interrogate suspects to work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust.
How is this different from an escape room in Dundee?
Instead of being locked in a room against a clock, you walk the streets of Dundee and solve puzzles based on what is in front of you at each stop. You pick your own start time, there is no slot to book, and you can pause and continue later.
Can we do it as a murder mystery night out with a group?
Yes. Friends, couples and hen, stag or birthday groups play it together on their own phones, and one ticket covers your whole group up to the number of devices stated. There is no live host, so your group does all the investigating and debating over suspects yourselves.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan for around 90 minutes to cover the 2.4 km route and its 11 stops, starting at the Robert Burns statue. You can go at your own pace, take breaks along the way, and pause the game to pick it up again later.
Is it suitable for children?
It works best for teens and older kids who enjoy a whodunnit, since the story centres on a death and asks players to question suspects and weigh up clues. Younger children may find the theme and the reasoning harder to follow, so it suits families with older children.
