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 and finishing at the Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Statue, this 2.3 km Waikiki loop passes the Prince Kūhiō statue and the Princess Kaʻiulani Shrine as you question suspects in a travel blogger's death. Couples, friends and families with teens who like detective work get around 90 minutes of outdoor clue hunting. Anyone wanting actors and an indoor mystery dinner, or bringing young children, should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a good alternative to a mystery dinner in Honolulu?
It suits people who want to solve the case themselves rather than watch actors over a meal. You walk through Waikiki on your own phones, gather clues and question suspects to work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust. You also choose when to start.
Where does the murder mystery start and finish?
It starts and ends at the Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Statue in Waikiki, so you finish where you began. Along the way you pass the statue of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, Waikiki Beach at Kalākaua Ave and the Princess Kaʻiulani Shrine, plus several cafes and shops.
How long does it take, and can we take a break?
Plan for around 90 minutes to walk the 2.3 km route and solve the puzzles. You can pause whenever you like, stop for a drink at one of the cafes on the way, and continue later from where you left off.
Is it suitable for kids?
The story centres on a death and asks you to interrogate suspects, so it works best for older kids and teens who enjoy puzzles, playing alongside adults. Younger children may find the murder plot and the detective questions less engaging.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
There is no time slot to book. You start whenever suits you, with no guide or other groups. One ticket covers your whole group, and each person can follow along on their own phone. The route is outdoors, so check the weather before you set off.
