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
Friends, couples and families with older kids can chase ten restless spirits across 2.6 km of Jacksonville, cracking ciphers and riddles to find the one that is lying. Puzzle and escape-room fans get around 90 minutes of clue-solving at their own pace. Anyone after a live guide retelling the city's documented hauntings should book a guided walk, because these ghosts are fictional.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a ghost hunt in Jacksonville we can do on our own?
Yes. This is a self-guided ghost hunt played on your phone. A hooded Oracle sends you after ten spirits with unfinished business. Solve each one's mystery to catch it and earn a clue, then name the Evil One and destroy it. No guide or group is needed.
How is this different from a ghost tour in Jacksonville, FL?
There is no guide talking and no fixed start time. Instead of retelling known legends, it introduces ten invented spirits and has you solve ciphers and riddles, some answered only by details on the street. It suits people who would rather play than listen.
Do we need a reservation or a set time slot?
No time slot is needed. You start whenever you like, and you can pause and continue later if you need a break. One ticket covers your whole group, so friends or family can play together without booking separate places.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The hunt begins at Point 1 - LBC. Plan on around 90 minutes, depending on how quickly your group cracks the puzzles, with about 2.6 km of walking through town. The whole route is outdoors, so dress for the weather.
Is it suitable for kids?
It works best for older kids and teens. The puzzles are ciphers and riddles that take some reading and reasoning, and the story has a Halloween horror theme with an evil spirit to defeat. Younger children may find the walk and the puzzles hard going.
Is Ghost Hunt in Jacksonville self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
Where does Ghost Hunt in Jacksonville start and finish?
It starts at Point 1 - LBC, Park St. & Post St., Jacksonville, FL 32204, USA and finishes at Point 12, Park St. & Post St., Jacksonville, FL 32204, USA. The route is approximately 2.6 km and includes 12 location-based puzzles.
What is included with Duo and Fellowship?
Duo provides access on 2 devices. Fellowship provides access on up to 5 devices, so each included player can follow the experience on their own phone.
