Your case to crack.

- App-guided play
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 on a date night, groups of friends and families with teens who want to solve a killing themselves. You follow clues on your phones along a 2 km downtown loop past Honky Tonk Central, Printers Alley and Tootsies, taking about an hour and a half. Skip it if you want a seated dinner with actors or are bringing young children, since the story centres on a blogger found dead.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Nashville 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 Demonbreun St, past Ryman Auditorium, Schermerhorn Symphony Center, and Johnny Cash Museum, 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
Where does the Nashville murder mystery start and finish?
It starts and ends at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, as a loop of about 2 km through downtown. Along the way you pass The Recording Angel sculpture, Honky Tonk Central, Printers Alley, Ole Red and Tootsies, finishing back near the museum after a stop at Trattoria Il Mulino.
Is this a murder mystery dinner or party?
No. Instead of a staged evening with actors, you walk the streets of downtown Nashville yourselves, gathering clues and interrogating suspects on your phones. The case follows the death of travel blogger Bella Wanderlust during a ghost tour, and you decide whether her boyfriend, the tour guide or someone else is to blame.
Can we play it as a private group?
Yes. There is no group to join and no guide, so it is just your own party playing together on your phones. One ticket covers the whole group, and you can start whenever suits you without booking a time slot.
How long does it take, and can we take a break?
Most players take about an hour and a half, including the walking and the puzzles, over a route of around 2 km. You can pause at any point, for a drink on Broadway for example, and continue the case later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for kids?
It works best for older kids and teens who enjoy puzzles and detective stories. The plot revolves around a woman found dead, and solving it means weighing up suspects and clues, so it is less suited to young children.
Is Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows in Nashville self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. You can start when it suits you and pause if needed.
Where does Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows in Nashville start and finish?
It starts at 1 Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, 501 Demonbreun St, Nashville, TN 37203, USA and finishes at 12 Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, 200 Rep. John Lewis Way S, Nashville, TN 37203, USA. The route is approximately 2 km and includes 12 location-based puzzles.
What is included with Duo and Fellowship?
