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 Anaheim Heritage Center, a 2.2 km walk past Anaheim City Hall, the Anaheim Ballet and Casa Bella Event Center has you questioning suspects in a travel blogger's death on a ghost tour. Couples, friends and families with teens who want to crack the case themselves will enjoy the around 90 minutes. If you want a seated murder mystery dinner with actors, or somewhere indoors, pick something else.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Anaheim 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 2.2 km, past Center Street Promenade and Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center, 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 a murder mystery dinner in Anaheim?
No. There are no actors and no set meal. You walk the streets with your phone, gather clues and interrogate suspects yourselves. The route passes places to eat such as LAZEEZ EATS and Nick's Bagels & Espresso, so you can plan a meal before or after the case.
How is this different from a murder mystery escape room?
An escape room keeps you indoors on a booked slot. Here the puzzles are set in real places across Anaheim, from the Heritage Center to City Hall and the Anaheim Ballet. You play outdoors on your own phones, at a time you choose.
Is this something we can do in OC today?
Yes. There is no set start time and no guide to wait for, so you can begin whenever suits you. Head to the Anaheim Heritage Center, open the app and start. You can also pause partway and continue later.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
It starts at the Anaheim Heritage Center and takes around 90 minutes, covering about 2.2 km on foot. Along the way you visit 11 stops, including Casa Bella Event Center, Windsor Brown's and Requiem: Coffee, Tea, and Fantasy.
Can we play as a group, and is it suitable for kids?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and everyone can follow along on their own phones. The story centres on a murder during a ghost tour, so it suits teens and older kids better than young children.
