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 Covent Garden Market, a 2.2 km loop leads past Metropolitan United Church and The Richmond Tavern while you question suspects in a travel blogger's death, over about 90 minutes. It suits pairs after a date with a puzzle, or friends who would rather investigate than sit through a dinner whodunit. Anyone wanting a roof overhead, or with children too young for a ghost-tour killing, should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this like an escape room in London, Ontario?
It shares the puzzle solving and the race to crack a case, but it happens outdoors on a walking route rather than in a locked room. Your phone leads you from stop to stop, tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you.
How is this different from a murder mystery dinner?
There is no staged show, set menu or fixed seating. You and your group do the investigating yourselves on your own phones, gathering clues and interrogating suspects as you walk, and you choose when to start. The mystery centres on Bella, a travel blogger found dead during a ghost tour.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
You start at Covent Garden Market and finish back there after 12 stops, covering about 2.2 km. Most groups take around 90 minutes. You can pause at any point, for a coffee or a meal, and carry on later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for kids?
The story is a murder case, so it suits older children and teens who enjoy puzzles and following clues more than young kids. Adults with teenagers can split up the work of reading the story, spotting details at each stop and weighing up the suspects together.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and each person can follow along on their own phone. There is no time slot to book and no guide to meet, so you can start whenever suits you.
