CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
You know the old saying, âThe boyfriend did itâ? 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, itâs 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?
đ 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
Starting at the Ludvig Mathias Lindeman statue, this 2.1 km case winds through Sentrum past the Norwegian Parliament, Christiania Torv and Oslo Cathedral as you question suspects in the death of a travel blogger on a ghost tour. Couples on a date night, groups of friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of detective work outdoors. Anyone wanting an indoor murder dinner with actors should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Can we solve a murder mystery ourselves in Oslo?
Yes. You play the detective on your own phones. Travel blogger Bella Wanderlust was found dead during a ghost tour led by the theatrical Percy Shadows, and you gather clues and interrogate suspects, including her boyfriend Walter Bridges, at real places in central Oslo to work out who did it.
Where does the game start and which places does it pass?
It starts at the Ludvig Mathias Lindeman statue. The 2.1 km route takes in stops such as Oslo Cathedral, the Norwegian Parliament, Christiania Torv, the StattholdergÄrden plaque, Brannvakten, Fru Fortuna, The Tiger and Cinemateket, all in the Sentrum area.
How long does it take, and can we take a break?
Plan on around 90 minutes, depending on how quickly your group cracks the puzzles and how long you linger at each stop. You can pause whenever you like, stop for a coffee or a meal, and continue the investigation later from where you left off.
Is it suitable for children?
The story centres on a murder and asks you to question suspects and weigh up clues, so it suits teens and older children who enjoy a whodunit better than young kids. Families with older children often play it together, with everyone helping to solve the case.
Do we need to book a time, and can a group play on one ticket?
No time slot is needed: you start whenever you want, with no guide and no other group. One ticket covers your whole group, and each person can follow along on their own phone. The game is played outdoors, so dress for the weather on rainy days.
Is Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows in Sentrum, Oslo self-guided?
