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
Starting at Fusiliers' Arch on St. Stephen's Green, this case leads past Bewley's Grafton Street, the Molly Malone Statue and pubs such as Kehoes and Neary's. Couples, friends and families with teens get a whodunit to solve themselves in around 90 minutes. If you want a seated murder mystery dinner or an indoor escape room, look elsewhere: this is 2.2 km on foot, outdoors.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Dublin is still warm enough to follow.

Twelve stops across 2.2 km from St Stephen's Green, past Mansion House and St Ann's Church, 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.
