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
This 2.2 km Lakewood walk makes the streets a crime scene: travel blogger Bella Wanderlust was found dead on a ghost tour, and over about 90 minutes you question suspects such as boyfriend Walter and guide Percy Shadows. Couples on date night, friends and families with teens enjoy playing detective on their own phones. If you want live actors over dinner or an indoor escape room, pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the murder mystery take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes, covering about 2.2 km on foot outdoors. The app leads you from place to place, and you can pause at any point and continue later, so you can stop for a drink or a meal along the way.
Is this murder mystery suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens who enjoy working out clues and questioning suspects. The story centres on the death of a travel blogger during a ghost tour, so families with younger children may prefer a lighter theme.
Can our whole group play together?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. Everyone can follow the investigation on their own phone, which works well for friends, birthday groups and hen or stag parties.
Do we need to book a start time?
No. It is self-guided, with no guide and no fixed group to meet, so you start whenever suits you. If plans change partway through, you can pause the game and pick up the case again later.
Is it played indoors or outdoors?
It is an outdoor walk, played on your phone as you move between locations. In bad weather you can pause the game and come back to finish the investigation another time.
