Date night murder mystery in San Diego. Solve it together

It's made for two. You spend about 90 minutes walking San Diego with a murder to argue about, and the Duo pass is $17.99 for both of you, $8.99 a person, with nothing to book around dinner.

Yes. The case unlocks the second you pay and there is no time slot to reserve. Buy at 7pm, walk to the starting point, and you'll be working the first clue within the half hour. If tonight falls through, it stays in your account.

Yes, the free Questo app on iOS or Android, about a 2-minute download. Buy on this page, open the app, and the case is waiting in your account. Grab it at home on Wi-Fi; the route itself runs fine on normal mobile data.

No. There's no guide, no group and no set time. It's a self-guided game: you unlock the case, walk the 2 km route on your own schedule, and everyone in your party gets clues on their own phone. Closer to an escape room than to a walking tour of San Diego.

Nothing is booked, so you simply play another evening. The case does not expire. If weather turns mid-game, pause it, get inside, and resume from the same point later. If you haven't started yet, take a full refund instead.

The Fellowship covers up to 5 phones for $29.99 ($6.00 each). Bigger groups usually share a phone between two, or add a second pass and run two teams on the same case. That's the better version, and the San Diego leaderboard settles it.

Point 1 is at Starting point · 1160 Coast Blvd, and the route finishes at Agent X · 8040 Girard Ave, a 2 km route with 15 challenge locations. The exact spot, with a photo, appears in the app the moment you unlock.

It's a whodunit, not a horror game: no jump scares, no gore, nothing chasing you. Kids usually spot the clues faster than the adults. Younger children can walk along, though the deduction will be over their heads.

Yes, and the case plays best after dark. Bring a charged phone; the route stays on public streets and squares, and it's roughly 2600 steps in total.

About 90 minutes of playing across 15 points, plus however long you stop for. Most groups take a bit longer because they pause for a drink midway. Nothing forces you along. The timer only matters if you want the leaderboard.

Yes, gift the case and the person you send it to picks their own evening, in San Diego or in any of the other cities it runs in. It doesn't expire, so it works for a birthday, a hen do, an anniversary or a team night out. They'll need the free Questo app to play.
