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 the John Curtin statue, this 2.2 km case winds through Fremantle past Kings Square, the Wesley Uniting Church and Pioneer Park, with suspects to question and clues to piece together over about 90 minutes. Couples on a date night, groups of friends and families with teens get to play detective outdoors. Anyone wanting actors at a dinner table or an indoor escape room should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Can we do this in Fremantle tomorrow or at the weekend without booking a time?
Yes. There is no set time slot, no group to join and no guide to meet, so you can start whenever suits you. The walk is outdoors, and if the weather turns or you want a break, you can pause and continue later.
How is this different from a murder mystery escape room?
Instead of a locked room, you walk outdoors through the CBD on your own phones. At each stop the app tells the story of the place and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you, while you gather clues and interrogate suspects to work out who killed Bella.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The game starts at the John Curtin statue in Fremantle's CBD. Allow around 90 minutes to cover about 2.2 km across six stops, which include PS Gallery, Fremantle Wesley Uniting Church, Kings Square, Pioneer Park and the Chimera sculpture.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the ticket. Everyone can follow along and work on the clues and suspects together on their own phones, which suits couples, friends and birthday or hen and stag groups.
Is it suitable for kids?
It is best for older kids and teens. The story centres on a death during a ghost tour, with suspects to question and puzzles to solve, so it works for young people who enjoy a mystery and can manage a walk of around 90 minutes.
