About this quest
Hit the streets of Gilbert by playing a city exploration game filled with mystery, sightseeing, and more than a little bit of the supernatural. You’ll play as a renowned ghost hunter following clues to investigate sightings of a haunting apparition.
Visit the major art displays in town, created by local and national artists. As you visit each stop, you’ll solve puzzles and reveal clues. Along the way, you’ll experience the Heritage District of Gilbert — a thriving city with a small town feel.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Families with children old enough to help crack clues, couples and East Valley locals looking for a spooky outing around Halloween can play ghost hunter through the Heritage District, solving puzzles at murals, a fountain and Water Tower Plaza. The 1.6 km loop takes a little over an hour. If you want a guide telling ghost stories in person, or a real fright inside a haunted house, pick something else.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is there a ghost tour in downtown Gilbert?
This is a self-guided ghost hunting game rather than a guided tour. You play a renowned ghost hunter investigating sightings of a haunting apparition, following clues through the Heritage District on your phone. There is no guide and no fixed time, so you can start whenever suits you.
Is it a good Halloween activity for kids?
It is tagged family friendly and mixes a supernatural mystery with puzzles you solve at each stop, mostly large murals by local and national artists. The route is a short 1.6 km loop taking about an hour, which keeps it manageable for children who enjoy a spooky story and a bit of detective work.
Where does the walk start and end?
It starts and finishes at the Gilbert Self Storage Mural, so you end up back where you began. In between you pass the Heritage Marketplace Fountain, Water Tower Plaza and murals such as Desert Dream, Hale Centre Theatre and the American Legion Mural.
Can adults or couples play it, and does a group need separate tickets?
Yes, it is tagged as fun to do as a couple and works well for adult friends too. One ticket covers your whole group, there is no time slot to book, and you can pause the game and pick it up again later.
What time of day is best, and what should we bring?
The route is open around the clock, but it is better in daylight when the murals and clues are easy to see. It is all outdoors, so bring a hat, sunscreen and enough water, and make sure your phone is fully charged or carry a power bank.
