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, groups of friends and families with teens can spend 1.5 to 2 hours questioning suspects about a travel blogger found dead on a ghost tour, walking a 1.9 km loop through Bishop Arts past Bishop Street Market and Palmieri Cafe. It suits people who would rather investigate themselves than watch a staged dinner. If you want an indoor escape room or a lighter story for young children, pick something else.
