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
Couples after a date night with a twist, groups of friends and families with teens can play detective through downtown Mobile, questioning suspects about a travel blogger's death across 11 stops, from Cathedral Square past the Carnival Museum and the Haunted Book Store. It takes around 80 minutes over 2 km and ends back at the square. If you want actors serving dinner or an indoor escape room, choose something else.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Mobile is still warm enough to follow.
Read the scene, then read the people, decipher hidden messages and piece the evidence together until the alibis stop agreeing.
Twelve stops across 2 km from Cathedral Square, past Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception and History Museum of Mobile, on historic streets and in the corners most visitors walk straight past.
A date night that is also a killer group activity, played with your partner, a few friends, or alone if you trust yourself.
Just your phone, starting whenever you like, with nothing to collect and nobody waiting on you.

Frequently asked questions
Which app do I need to play this murder mystery?
You play it in the Questo app on your own phone. The app guides you from stop to stop around downtown Mobile, tells the story at each place and sets a puzzle using what is in front of you, so you gather clues and question suspects as you walk.
Is this like a murder mystery dinner in Mobile?
Not quite. There are no actors and no set seating time. You and your group investigate the death of travel blogger Bella Wanderlust yourselves, outdoors on downtown streets, working out whether her boyfriend Walter, ghost tour guide Percy or someone else is responsible.
Where does it start and finish, and how long does it take?
It starts and finishes at Cathedral Square, a 2 km loop through 11 stops including the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Barton Academy, the Mobile Carnival Museum and The Stables Bar. Most players take around 80 minutes, walking and puzzles included.
Can our group play together, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers the whole group playing together, and there is no time slot to book or guide to meet. Start whenever suits you, and if you want a break along the way you can pause the game and continue later.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens best. The story centres on a death during a ghost tour, and the fun comes from questioning suspects and piecing clues together across a 2 km walk, which younger children may find less engaging.
