CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
"When I die I will be reborn in paradise, and all those I have killed will become my slaves."
Decades ago, the Zodiac Killer carved those words into history then vanished into the fog. The case went cold. The city moved on. Until last night.
A high-security police vault has been breached. The thief ignored the cash and the narcotics but he took only one thing: the original Zodiac evidence files. Now a copycat calling himself The Disciple has scattered the 1969 artifacts across the city and marked innocent citizens for "collection," determined to finish what his Master started.
You're on the task force. Twelve locations, each tied to a Zodiac sign. No set order, only your instincts. And beware: some of them are traps designed to waste your precious time.
🔎 Crack the Zodiac's infamous ciphers, recover the stolen artifacts, and save the victims before the clock runs out. The ink is fresh, the knife is sharp, and the city is screaming for answers.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
True-crime fans, couples after a darker date night and groups of friends who like puzzles get around 90 minutes of clue-solving on a 2 km walk through Jacksonville, chasing a copycat of the Zodiac Killer across the city. Families with young children, or anyone who wants to stay indoors with a live guide, should pick something gentler, since the story deals with murder and threats against innocent people.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A copycat is finishing what the Zodiac started, and The Disciple is working his way through Jacksonville.
Decode the real thing, cryptic notes, punched cards and symbol-filled messages built from the Zodiac's actual letters.
Twelve marked locations across 2 km from Hendricks Avenue, past San Marco Square, San Marco Theatre, and Mango Place, in no fixed order, and some of the pins are traps.
For true crime readers, played with your partner, your friends, or on your own if the ciphers are the draw.
Just your phone, start any time, and trust your gut more than the map.

Frequently asked questions
Is this quest about the real Zodiac Killer?
It uses the real case as its hook. The story begins with the original Zodiac evidence files stolen from a police vault by a copycat calling himself The Disciple, who scatters the 1969 artifacts across the city. You follow his trail, solve the puzzles and try to stop him.
Can we play tonight without booking a time?
Yes. There are no time slots, so you start whenever you like from your phone, with no guide or tour group to meet. Plan on around 90 minutes and about 2 km on foot, and you can pause and carry on later if plans change.
How is it different from a Zodiac Killer escape room?
Instead of a locked room and a booked slot, you play outdoors on a phone while walking about 2 km through Jacksonville. The app leads you from place to place, tells the story of each one and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you.
Can our group play on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest. Friends or couples can play together and work through the puzzles side by side as you walk.
Is it suitable for children?
It is a murder mystery about a copycat killer who marks innocent citizens for collection, so it is written with adults in mind. It is not a good fit for young children, and parents of teenagers should judge how well they handle dark true-crime themes.

Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
