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
This 2.2 km route through Iuka takes around 90 minutes, as you work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust on a ghost tour, gathering clues and questioning suspects. Couples on a date night, groups of friends and families with teens enjoy playing detective themselves, outdoors and at their own pace. Anyone hoping for a staged dinner with live actors, or an indoor escape room, should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the murder mystery take and how far do we walk?
Plan for around 90 minutes, covering about 2.2 km on foot. You can go faster or slower, since nobody is waiting for you, and you can stop for a break whenever you want and carry on later from where you left off.
Is this murder mystery suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens best. The story is about a travel blogger found dead during a ghost tour, and you gather clues and interrogate suspects to find the killer. Younger children may find the murder theme and the detective work less fitting.
Can we play as a group on one ticket?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and everyone can follow along on their own phones. It works well for couples, friends and birthday groups who want to solve the case together.
Do we need to book a start time?
No. There is no group and no guide, so you start whenever suits you. You can also pause the game partway through and continue later, which makes it easy to fit around a meal or other plans.
Is it played indoors or outdoors?
It is an outdoor walk through the streets, played on your phone as you move from place to place. Dress for the weather on the day, since you will be outside for most of the roughly 90 minutes.
