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.

Who it's for
This Fayetteville edition is a 2 km walk of around 90 minutes, questioning suspects and gathering clues to find who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust on a ghost tour.

Is there a murder mystery game I can play myself in Fayetteville?
Yes. This is a self-guided murder mystery played on your phone as you walk about 2 km through the city. You gather clues, interrogate suspects and decide who is behind Bella's death. You start whenever you like, with no guide and no fixed group.
Is this a ghost tour?
Not quite. The story is set around a ghost tour: Bella, a famous travel blogger, is found dead during a tour led by the theatrical Percy Shadows, who becomes one of your suspects. There is no live guide, though. The app leads you from place to place while you investigate.
Do I need a special device to play?
No special equipment is needed. The game runs on your own phone, which guides you between locations, tells the story at each one and sets puzzles based on what is in front of you. Your whole group can play on their phones, up to the number of devices stated.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Plan on around 90 minutes to cover roughly 2 km on foot, depending on how quickly you crack the clues. There is no time slot to book, and you can pause the game and pick it up again later if you want a break.
Is it suitable for kids, and can we play as a group?
It suits older kids and teens best, since the story centres on a death and asks you to work through suspects and clues. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the stated number of devices. The route is outdoors, so dress for the weather.
