Your case to crack.

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
Over about 90 minutes and 1.7 km of Renton streets, you piece together who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust on a ghost tour, questioning her boyfriend Walter and the showy guide Percy Shadows. It suits friends who like to argue over a suspect, or a pair after a more unusual evening out. Anyone hoping for actors in costume or a seated dinner should book a staged murder mystery instead.
What makes this quest special

Twelve stops across 1.7 km from Mill Ave, past Renton City Hall, Renton Transit Center, and Renton History Museum, on historic streets and in the corners most visitors walk straight past.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the murder mystery walk in Renton take?
Plan on around 90 minutes, covering about 1.7 km on foot. You set the pace yourselves, so stopping to argue over a suspect or reread a clue can stretch it a little. There is no guide waiting on you, so nobody rushes you along.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens who enjoy solving puzzles and weighing up suspects. The story centres on a travel blogger found dead during a ghost tour, so think about whether a murder plot fits younger children before you go. Adults playing alongside teens tend to get the most out of it.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. Everyone follows the case on their own phones, which makes it work well for friends, couples and birthday, hen or stag groups who want to investigate together rather than watch a show.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No time slot is needed. You start whenever suits you, with no group to join and no guide to meet. If you want a coffee break or need to stop partway, you can pause the game and continue the investigation later from where you left off.
How is this different from a murder mystery dinner or escape room?
Instead of watching actors or sitting in a locked room, you walk through Renton outdoors and do the detective work yourselves on your phone: gathering clues, interrogating suspects and deciding who killed Bella. Because it is outside, check the weather and dress for rain if needed.
