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
From the Kamloops Art Gallery entrance on 5th Ave, this 2.1 km downtown route passes the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library and The Book Place while you question suspects in a travel blogger's death. Couples, friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of detective work at their own pace. Anyone hoping for a staged haunted house with real scares or an indoor escape room should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a ghost tour in Kamloops?
Not in the usual sense, as there is no guide leading you. It is a murder mystery with a ghost tour at its heart: Bella Wanderlust was found dead during a tour run by the theatrical Percy Shadows. You walk the streets with your phone and work out whether Percy, her boyfriend Walter or someone else did it.
Where does this murder mystery start and how long does it take?
It starts at the entry of the Kamloops Art Gallery on 5th Ave and covers about 2.1 km through downtown, passing places such as the library on Victoria St and The Book Place on 3rd Ave. Most groups take around 90 minutes, and you can begin whenever you like.
How is it different from an escape room?
Instead of a locked room, you play outdoors on your own phones, walking between 12 stops while you gather clues and interrogate suspects. There is no time slot to book, so you start when it suits you, and you can pause the game and carry on later.
Can we play as a group, and is it suitable for kids?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, and you play together on your own phones. Because the story centres on a death and asks you to question suspects, it suits teens and older kids who enjoy puzzles more than young children.
Is it outdoors, and what if it rains?
The whole route is outdoors on the streets of downtown Kamloops, so dress for the weather. If the rain sets in, you can pause the game and continue later from where you stopped, without losing your progress in the investigation.
