The adventure

About this quest

Forget every ghost story you've heard about this city. This Halloween, ten restless spirits are loose on its streets. 👻 No history book knows their names. No tour guide has heard of them. Most are just lost souls. One is lying to you. 💀
A hooded Oracle needs a ghost hunter. Every spirit is stuck on unfinished business: solve its mystery, catch it, and it gives up a clue. Follow the trail across town, crack ciphers and riddles (some only the street itself can answer), then name the Evil One and destroy it before it finds you. 🕷️

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Starting at Bicentennial Park, this 2.3 km trail passes Big Springs Park, the Huntsville Museum of Art and EarlyWorks Children's Museum, with ten ghosts to catch and ciphers to crack in about 90 minutes. Friends, couples, families with older kids and escape-room fans will enjoy it most. Anyone wanting the city's real hauntings told by a live guide should look elsewhere, since these spirits are invented.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a ghost tour of Huntsville, AL?
It is a self-guided ghost hunt played on your phone, not a guided tour. Ten restless spirits with made-up stories are loose on the streets, and you solve each one's mystery to catch it and earn a clue. You start whenever you like at Bicentennial Park, with no fixed tour time.
How long is the Huntsville ghost walk and where does it start?
The walk starts at Bicentennial Park and covers about 2.3 km. Most groups take around 90 minutes. Stops along the route include Big Springs Park, the Huntsville Museum of Art, the Celestial Symphony Mural and EarlyWorks Children's Museum. You can pause and pick it up again later.
Is it like an escape room in Huntsville?
It has a similar puzzle feel, but outdoors. You crack ciphers and riddles, some of which only the street in front of you can answer, collect clues from each spirit, then work out which one is the Evil One and destroy it before the end.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits families with older kids who enjoy a spooky Halloween story and can handle ciphers and riddles. The theme is horror and haunts, with one lying spirit to unmask, so it is better for children old enough to enjoy a scare and walk about 2.3 km.
Do we need to book a time, and can our group play together?
No time slot is needed: start any time and pause whenever you want, then continue later. One ticket covers your whole group, so friends or family can play together on their phones up to the number of devices stated for the quest.
