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 finishing at Mandjar Square, this 2.2 km loop follows the Eastern Foreshore past the Visitor Centre and Brighton Hotel, with suspects to question over around 90 minutes. Couples on a date night, friends and families with teens who might otherwise book an escape room get to run the investigation themselves. If you want an indoor room, live actors or a story suited to young children, pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this like an escape room in Mandurah?
It is not a locked room. It is an outdoor detective game played on your own phones. The app leads you between stops around the foreshore and town centre, tells the story at each place and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you while you gather clues and question suspects.
Where does the murder mystery start and finish?
It starts at Mandjar Square and loops back there at the end. Along the way you pass places such as the Eastern Foreshore near the playground and the Kwillena Gabi Pool, the Mandurah Visitor Centre and the Brighton Hotel, across 12 stops in total.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes to walk about 2.2 km, though you can go at your own pace. You can pause at any point, stop for food or a coffee along the route, and continue later from where you left off.
Is it suitable for kids?
It works best for older kids and teens who enjoy solving puzzles and following a detective story. The plot centres on a woman found dead during a ghost tour, so think about whether that suits younger children before you go.
Do we need to book a time, and can our group play together?
There is no set start time and no guide to meet, so you begin whenever suits you. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and everyone can follow the investigation on their own phone.
