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
A 2.2 km walk of around 90 minutes through Londonderry has you working out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust on a ghost tour: her obsessive boyfriend Walter, the theatrical guide Percy, or someone else. Couples, friends and families with teens get to question suspects and gather clues themselves. Skip it if you want a seated murder dinner indoors or have young children, as the story centres on a death.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Londonderry murder mystery walk take?
Plan on around 90 minutes, covering about 2.2 km on foot. You set the pace yourselves, and you can pause the game and carry on later if you want to stop for food or a break along the way.
Is this murder mystery suitable for children?
The case centres on a travel blogger found dead during a ghost tour, with suspects to question and clues to weigh up. It suits families with older kids and teens who can follow the story and help with the investigating, rather than very young children.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, so friends, couples or a birthday group can investigate together on their phones and compare suspects as you go.
Do we need to book a start time?
No. There is no guide and no fixed group, so you start whenever suits you and play at your own pace. You can also pause partway through and pick the case up again later.
Is it outdoors, and what if it rains?
The game is played outdoors as a walk of about 2.2 km through the city, so it is not an indoor activity. On a wet day, bring a jacket, or use the pause option to sit out a shower and continue afterwards.
