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
Starting at Ellis Square, this 1.8 km case passes Wright Square, the Telfair Museums and the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum as you work out who killed a travel blogger on a ghost tour. Date-night couples, groups of friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of questioning suspects and weighing clues. Anyone hoping for a seated dinner mystery or an indoor escape room should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
How does this Savannah murder mystery work?
You play it on your phone as a self-guided walk. Bella Wanderlust, a travel blogger, was found dead during a ghost tour led by Percy Shadows. You gather clues and interrogate suspects, including her boyfriend Walter Bridges, to work out who did it. Each stop adds story and a puzzle.
Can we play it as a group event instead of an escape room?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and everyone investigates on their own phones. Unlike an indoor escape room, you solve the case outdoors while walking about 1.8 km between Savannah's squares and landmarks, at a time you choose.
Is it like a scavenger hunt in Savannah?
In part. The app leads you from place to place and sets puzzles based on what is in front of you, with stops such as Wright Square, the Telfair Museums, the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum and the First Baptist Church of Savannah. The clues also build towards solving a murder.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The quest starts at Ellis Square. Plan on around 90 minutes to cover the route of about 1.8 km on foot. You can pause along the way and continue later, so you can stop for a drink or a meal and then pick the case back up.
Do we need to book a time, and is it suitable for kids?
No fixed time is needed: start whenever suits you, with no guide or other group. The story centres on a death and asks you to question suspects, so it suits teens and older kids who enjoy detective puzzles more than young children.
Is Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows in Savannah self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. You can start when it suits you and pause if needed.

It starts at Ellis Square, 200 W Congress St, Savannah, GA 31401, USA and finishes at W Saint Julian St @ Jefferson St entry, 308 W Saint Julian Street, Savannah, GA 31401, USA. The route is approximately 1.8 km and includes 12 location-based puzzles.
