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?

Twelve stops across 2 km from N Glenoaks Blvd, past Burbank Town Center, AMC Burbank 16, and Burbank City Hall, 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
We want more than just a stroll—how can we turn Burbank into a live mystery?
With Solve the Case in Burbank, you become the detective. You’ll wander ~2 km through historic streets, collect clues about Bella Wanderlust’s death, question suspects like Walter or Percy Shadows, and piece together what really happened. It’s immersive, engaging, and way more exciting than a standard walking tour.
Is this a fun date idea—for romance with a side of suspense?
Totally. Imagine sunset fading, city lights flickering, and you two whispering theories by streetlamps. Cracking clues together turns a typical evening into something cinematic—mystery, tension, and moments you’ll laugh about later.
I’ve got teens or preteens—will they dig this adventure?
Yes. The storyline is dramatic but not gory, puzzles are solvable with curiosity, and there are plenty of interesting spots to keep their attention. Plus, it’s flexible: they can take breaks for snacks or photo ops without feeling left out.
What about doing this with friends or as a group challenge?
Perfect. Split into teams, try to solve the case fastest, or share clues and debate who you think did it. With suspects, alibis, and plot twists, it makes for a lively night out—way more interactive than just walking around a city.
Do I need to schedule a time in advance or join a guide?
Nope. It’s self-guided. You buy the quest in the Questo app (cost ~US$10 or more depending on currency), download it, and head to the starting point whenever you feel like it. No guide, no fixed schedule.
