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
This Milwaukee route covers about 1.8 km in around 90 minutes, with ten restless spirits to catch, ciphers to crack and riddles that only the street can answer before you name the Evil One. Friends, couples, families with older kids and escape-room fans who would rather play than listen will enjoy it. If you want documented Milwaukee hauntings told by a live guide, pick a guided night walk instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is this something we can do in Milwaukee today?
Yes. There is no fixed start time, so you can begin whenever suits you, on the day itself. The walk takes around 90 minutes and covers about 1.8 km, played on your phone as the app leads you from place to place.
How does the ghost hunting work?
A hooded Oracle recruits you as a ghost hunter. Ten restless spirits each have unfinished business: solve a spirit's mystery, catch it, and it gives up a clue. You follow the trail across town, crack ciphers and riddles, some answered only by the street itself, then name the Evil One.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids who enjoy spooky stories and can handle ciphers and riddles, ideally alongside an adult. The theme is horror and haunts, with one deceiving spirit to unmask, so very young or easily frightened children may find it too much.
Can we play as a group and pause along the way?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, and there is no guide or other group to keep pace with. You can pause at any point, for a meal or a break, and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it outdoors, and what if it rains?
The game is played on the streets, walking about 1.8 km between places, so it is outdoors and you should dress for the weather. If rain sets in, pause the quest and pick it up again once it clears.
