Your case to crack.

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
In Frisco, this case takes you on a 2.2 km walk of around 90 minutes to find out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust during Percy Shadows' ghost tour. Couples, friends and families with teens who would rather question suspects outdoors than sit through a murder mystery dinner will enjoy it. If you want live actors, a seated meal or an indoor evening, a dinner show suits you better.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Frisco is still warm enough to follow.
Read the scene, then read the people, decipher hidden messages and piece the evidence together until the alibis stop agreeing.
Twelve stops across 2.2 km from George A Purefoy Municipal Center, past Frisco Square, Frisco City Hall, and Museum of the American Railroad, on historic streets and in the corners most visitors walk straight past.
A date night that is also a killer group activity, played with your partner, a few friends, or alone if you trust yourself.
Just your phone, starting whenever you like, with nothing to collect and nobody waiting on you.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as a murder mystery dinner in Frisco?
No. Instead of watching actors over a meal, you play detective yourselves on your phones while walking about 2.2 km through Frisco. The app leads you from place to place, tells the story and sets puzzles in what is around you as you work out who killed Bella Wanderlust.
How is it different from an escape room in Frisco?
You still solve puzzles against a mystery, but outdoors rather than in a locked room. Each puzzle is set in the real place in front of you, and there is no fixed slot or countdown. You can pause whenever you like and continue later from where you stopped.
Can we play it today, or do we need to book a time?
You can start any time that suits you, with no guide to meet and no group to join. Allow around 90 minutes for the full walk of about 2.2 km, though you can break it up and pick it back up later.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits teens and older children who enjoy a detective story. The plot centres on a travel blogger found dead during a ghost tour, with suspects to question and clues to piece together, so it is better kept for kids old enough to follow and enjoy a murder mystery.
Can our whole group play together?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, and players can follow along on their own phones. That makes it easy for friends, couples or families to investigate side by side, compare theories about the suspects and decide together who did it.
