Explore Your City. Solve the Mystery.

You know the old saying: “The boyfriend did it.” But in this interactive outdoor murder mystery, nothing is as simple as it seems. On an ill-fated night, romance goes terribly wrong for Bella Wanderlust and Walter Bridges. Bella, a wildly famous travel blogger, has been found dead during a local ghost tour led by the eccentric and theatrical Percy Shadows. The police are baffled, the trail is getting cold, and it's up to you to step in and uncover the truth.

Who is lurking in the shadows?

  • Walter Bridges: The seemingly obsessed boyfriend. Did a lover's quarrel take a fatal turn?
  • Percy Shadows: The dramatic ghost tour guide. Was this his ultimate, twisted theatrical stunt?
  • An Unknown Killer: Is someone else hiding in the dark corners of the city, waiting to strike again?

Your Detective Mission:

  • Explore the City: Turn your surroundings into a life-sized game board. Navigate the streets to uncover hidden evidence and retrace Bella's final steps.
  • Analyze the Evidence: Use your smartphone to interrogate suspects, unravel alibis, and catch the killer in a lie.
  • Crack the Case: Bring your sharpest deductive skills—and be sure to pack a pen and paper to jot down crucial clues.

The shadows are hiding a killer. It's time to bring them into the light.

It was brilliant fun, loved the facts but not sure how the scoring system has worked. I've ended up third despite getting the same score?
