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.

Frequently asked questions
Want a spooky twist on an evening walk in Edmonton?
Absolutely. This quest turns familiar streets into a detective’s playground. Wander through Old Strathcona or the downtown core, follow clues, interrogate suspects, and piece together a dark story — all without leaving the heart of the city.
Is this good for a date that feels different?
Yes. Think lamplight, whispers in alleys, solving puzzles together, then finishing with a cozy drink in one of the local cafés. It’s the kind of night where storytelling meets romance—unexpected and memorable.
Can teens handle this or will it be too creepy?
For sure, older teens will dig it. Themes are eerie rather than terrifying. There are dramatic twists, but nothing graphic. If they like mystery shows, riddles, or suspense, this hits the spot.
What cool Edmonton spots or hidden things will I pass by?
You’ll likely see landmarks, murals, quiet corners you’ve walked by but never noticed, maybe some heritage buildings with stories no one told before. It blends known places with clues that reveal the city’s secrets.
I’m a true-crime podcast fan—will this feel like those stories come alive?
Absolutely. You’ll sift through fictional witness statements, examine secret messages, and fit together a storyline step by step, just like the investigative shows—only you’re in the middle of it.
