📍 BrisbaneThe Zodiac Mystery: Catching the Disciple in Brisbane
"When I die I will be reborn in paradise, and all those I have killed will become my slaves." Decades ago, the Zodiac Killer carved those words into history then vanished into the fog. The case went cold. The city moved on. Until last night. A high-security police vault has been breached. The thief ignored the cash and the narcotics but he took only one thing: the original Zodiac evidence files. Now a copycat calling himself The Disciple has scattered the 1969 artifacts across the city and marked innocent citizens for "collection," determined to finish what his Master started. You're on the task force. Twelve locations, each tied to a Zodiac sign. No set order, only your instincts. And beware: some of them are traps designed to waste your precious time. 🔎 Crack the Zodiac's infamous ciphers, recover the stolen artifacts, and save the victims before the clock runs out. The ink is fresh, the knife is sharp, and the city is screaming for answers.

Frequently asked questions
No jump scares and no actors chasing you. It's a detective story — think clever puzzles and dark plot twists, not horror. If you want something genuinely spooky, try a ghost tour instead.
Yes. The stories are mystery-thriller, not gory, and the puzzles suit ages ~10 and up with an adult. Younger detectives often enjoy reading clues and spotting suspects. Choose Duo for 2 devices or Fellowship for up to 5 devices.
Most cases take 1–2 hours and cover 2–3 km on foot. There's no timer — pause anytime for food, drinks, or to argue about who did it, then pick up exactly where you left off.
A basic mobile connection keeps the story, clues and (optional) live leaderboard in sync. Solo play works fine at your own pace even on a weak signal — you just won't see other teams update live.
Your case never expires, so you can start on a clear day, or duck under an awning and keep solving. Many players pause for a coffee when the weather turns and resume when it clears. No booking to reschedule.
