About this quest

Step into a campus mystery filled with suspicious alibis, hidden connections, and clues concealed across Fayetteville. 

Perfect for mystery fans, students, visitors, and anyone who enjoys solving a case while exploring real places, this walking quest blends detective work with local history, striking architecture, and a trail of evidence leading from the University of Arkansas to downtown.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

U of A students and their roommates, parents on a campus visit, and visiting mystery fans get a detective case that leads from Gibson Hall past Old Main and Senior Walk to the Walton Arts Center and the Ramble downtown, in around 1.5 to 2 hours. Skip it if you want a live guide to question or would rather not walk 2.6 km outdoors.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • Explore many prominent landmarks of the campus and downtown, including the recently installed Upper and Lower Ramble park space.

  • Track a vanished student through suspicious paperwork, hidden donor ties, a revealing concert photo, and conflicting witness accounts—then rebuild the timeline and uncover the truth.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Gibson Hall on the University of Arkansas campus and finishes at the Lower Ramble downtown, so it does not return to the start. Along the 2.6 km route you pass the Chi Omega Greek Theatre, Old Main, Senior Walk, George's Majestic Lounge, the Walton Arts Center, TheatreSquared and the Fayetteville Public Library.
How long does it take?
Most players take around 1.5 to 2 hours, including the walking and the puzzles at each stop. You do not have to finish in one go: you can pause the game and carry on later from where you stopped.
Can we play as a group of friends or roommates?
Yes. The quest is free to play, so a group of roommates or friends can follow the case together on campus and downtown, comparing alibis and solving the clues as a team.
Do we need to book a time or meet a guide?
No. There is no group to join and no guide. You play on your phone, start at Gibson Hall whenever suits you, and the app leads you from place to place, telling the story of each stop and setting a puzzle there.
