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 and finishing at City Hall Park, this 1.9 km loop in Red Deer takes you past the Public Library, the Central Community Orchard and the Professional Building as you question suspects in a travel blogger's death. Couples, friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of hands-on detective work outdoors. Anyone wanting actors at a murder mystery dinner, or an indoor escape room, should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
What is the case you solve in the Red Deer murder mystery?
Bella Wanderlust, a famous travel blogger, is found dead during a ghost tour led by the theatrical Percy Shadows. You gather clues and interrogate suspects to decide who did it: Walter Bridges, her obsessed boyfriend, Percy himself, or someone else hiding in the shadows.
Where does the murder mystery start and finish?
It starts at City Hall Park and finishes back there. In between, the route passes places such as the Red Deer Public Library, the Central Community Orchard, the Professional Building and the Potters Hands Soup Kitchen, with the app guiding you from one stop to the next.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for a walk of about 1.9 km. You can pause the game and continue later, so you can stop for food or a break along the way and pick the investigation up again when you are ready.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, and each player can follow along on their own phone. There is no guide and no fixed departure, so you start whenever suits you and play at your own pace.
Is it suitable for kids?
It works best for adults, older kids and teens who enjoy playing detective. The story centres on a murder during a ghost tour and asks you to question suspects and weigh clues, so it is better suited to older children than to young ones.
