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
From the Art Gallery of Western Australia, a 2.3 km Northbridge loop takes you past the State Library and the Greek Orthodox Cathedral as you work out who killed a travel blogger on a ghost tour. Couples, friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of outdoor detective work. Anyone after an indoor escape room, or with children too young for a murder plot, should pick another quest.

Frequently asked questions
Where does this Perth murder mystery start, and where does it take you?
It starts at the Art Gallery of Western Australia and winds 2.3 km through Northbridge. Stops include the State Library of Western Australia, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helen, the corner of Museum St and Francis St, and several cafes and eateries such as Little Bird Cafe and Henry Summer.
How is it different from a murder mystery escape room?
You still solve the case yourselves, but outdoors on the streets of Northbridge instead of in a locked room. The app leads you from place to place on your own phones, tells the story of each stop and sets puzzles in what is in front of you, while you work out whether Walter, Percy or someone else did it.
Can we use it for a murder mystery party or birthday in Perth?
Yes. Friends, hen, stag and birthday groups can play together, and one ticket covers your whole group up to the number of devices stated. There is no time slot to book, so you can start whenever the group is ready and play at your own pace.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Plan on about 90 minutes for the 2.3 km walk, longer if you stop for food or drinks along the way. You can pause at any point and continue later, which makes it easy to fit around dinner in Northbridge.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older children and teens best. The story centres on a death during a ghost tour, and the puzzles involve gathering clues and questioning suspects, so children need to enjoy working things out and be comfortable walking 2.3 km over about 90 minutes.
Want to swap your usual night out with something mysterious?
Take this quest after dusk. You’ll walk Perth’s Cultural Centre, chase clues around the Art Gallery of Western Australia, and dive into Bella Wanderlust’s story. It turns familiar streets into a thriller just for you.
Is this good for a date with some suspense?
Definitely. Share theories over lantern-lit laneways, pause at historic façades, and work together to unmask suspects like the dramatic Percy Shadows. A little danger + conversation = a memorable evening.
Will older kids or teens enjoy this?
Yes. The mystery has intrigue, not gore. Puzzles are clever, storylines tasty. They’ll like the evidence gathering, the suspects, and places like Roe Street—all while you walk and explore together.
