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 planning a date night with a twist, groups of friends and families with teens can spend just over two hours walking a 2.4 km loop from Catedral de Murcia. Along the way they question suspects and piece together clues about a travel blogger found dead during a ghost tour. Anyone hoping for a live actor to quiz, an indoor evening or a story without a death at its centre should choose something else.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the murder mystery start and finish?
It starts and finishes at Catedral de Murcia, so the route is a loop and you end up back where you began. The walk covers about 2.4 km through the centre, and the app guides you from stop to stop, so there is no meeting point or guide to find.
How long does it take?
Most players take a little over two hours, including the walking between stops and the time spent solving puzzles. The route itself is about 2.4 km. You can pause at any point and carry on later, so a coffee break along the way is no problem.
Is this like a murder mystery night or an escape room?
You play detective yourselves, but outdoors on your own phones rather than at a staged dinner or in a locked room. You walk between real places in central Murcia, gather clues and interrogate suspects to work out what happened to travel blogger Bella Wanderlust. You start whenever you like, with no time slot to book.
What will we see in Murcia along the route?
In walking order: Catedral de Murcia, Pl. de los Apostoles, Busto de Francisco Salzillo, Las Pintas Murcianas, Iglesia de San Lorenzo, Plaza Puerta Nueva, Mostacho Murcia Burguer Bar, Museo Arqueológico de Murcia (MAM), Museo de Santa Clara, Palacio Almodóvar and Real Casino de Murcia, before returning to the cathedral.
Can we play as a group, and is it suitable for kids?
Yes, one ticket covers the whole group playing together, which suits friends, couples and birthday or hen groups. Because the story centres on a death and the investigation runs for over two hours, it works best for older kids and teens rather than young children.
What case do we investigate in Death in the Shadows?
Travel blogger Bella Wanderlust is found dead during a ghost tour. You examine the evidence around her boyfriend Walter Bridges, guide Percy Shadows and other possible suspects.
Is this like a murder-mystery dinner or an escape room?
You become the detectives outdoors, following app-guided evidence and puzzles through the city. It is not a hosted dinner or a locked indoor room.
What do Duo and Fellowship include?
Duo gives access on 2 devices. Fellowship gives access on up to 5 devices, so each included detective can follow the case on their own phone.
