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 ending at the Adam Mickiewicz Monument, this 2.1 km Old Town loop passes the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre, the Church of St. Wojciech and the Art Palace in around 90 minutes. Couples, friends and families with teens question suspects in a travel blogger's death. Anyone wanting live actors at an indoor murder dinner, or with young children who may find a killing too grim, should choose something else.
