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, families with older kids and escape-room fans who would rather solve a ghost hunt than listen to one get around 90 minutes of ciphers and riddles over 2.1 km of central Las Cruces, with some clues hidden in the street itself. If you want true local ghost lore from a guide you can question, pick a guided night walk, since these ten spirits appear in no history book.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a ghost tour in Las Cruces I can do without booking a time slot?
Yes. This is a self-guided ghost hunt played on your phone, so you start whenever you like from Miguel's Tree. There is no guide and no fixed departure. One ticket covers your whole group, and you can pause and continue later.
Which places in Las Cruces does the ghost hunt take you to?
The route passes Miguel's Tree, Klein Park, the Las Cruces Community Theatre, the Branigan Cultural Center, the Harold L. Runnels Federal Building, Las Cruces City Hall and the post office. The ghosts you meet there are original characters, not documented local hauntings.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on about 90 minutes for a walk of around 2.1 km through the town centre. The route is outdoors between stops, so dress for the weather. You can pause at any point and pick up where you left off.
Is it suitable for kids?
It is tagged horror and haunts, and the story has ten restless spirits, one of them lying to you, plus an Evil One to name and destroy. The ciphers and riddles suit older kids and teens who enjoy spooky stories more than young children.
Is this a good Halloween activity in Las Cruces?
The story is set at Halloween: a hooded Oracle sends you to catch ten spirits loose on the streets, solve each one's unfinished business and collect clues. Because you start any time, it works for an evening out without a fixed tour slot.
