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 from the plaza near École Victoria, this case unfolds along Broadway Avenue, with clues at The Broadway Theatre, Grace-Westminster United Church and Homestead Ice Cream over about 90 minutes and 2.1 km. Friends who would rather solve a killing themselves than watch one staged at dinner will enjoy it, as will parents with teens. Anyone wanting a live host playing the suspects should look elsewhere.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Saskatoon is still warm enough to follow.
Read the scene, then read the people, decipher hidden messages and piece the evidence together until the alibis stop agreeing.
Twelve stops across 2.1 km from Broadway Ave, past Broadway Theatre and Rotary Park, 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is this similar to an escape room in Saskatoon?
It shares the puzzle solving, but it happens outdoors along Broadway Avenue rather than in a locked room. Your phone leads you between 11 stops, tells the story at each one and sets puzzles in what you see there. You start whenever you like, with no time slot to book.
Can we do a murder mystery night in Saskatoon without a dinner party?
Yes. Instead of a staged dinner with actors, you investigate the death of travel blogger Bella Wanderlust yourselves, gathering clues and interrogating suspects such as her boyfriend Walter and the dramatic ghost tour guide Percy Shadows. You choose the start time, so it fits a date or a night out with friends.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
It starts at the plaza near École Victoria on Broadway Ave and covers about 2.1 km, passing places like The Broadway Theatre, Broadway Cafe and Homestead Ice Cream & Novelties. Allow around 90 minutes, a little longer if you stop for food or drinks along the way.
Can our whole group play together, and can we pause?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the stated number of devices, so friends can follow the case on their own phones. You can pause at any point, for a coffee or a break, and pick up the investigation later from where you left off.
Is it suitable for kids?
The story centres on a death and has you interrogating suspects and weighing motives, so it suits teens and older children who enjoy logic puzzles and a whodunit, playing alongside adults. Younger children may find the theme and the detective work less engaging over a 90 minute walk.
How can I turn a regular night in Saskatoon into something unforgettable?
Grab a friend or two and step straight into a crime story. This game leads you through lantern-lit streets and riverside corners as you collect clues and chase down a fictional killer. It’s part detective drama, part urban walk.
I love podcasts and true-crime shows—will this scratch that itch?
Absolutely. Instead of just listening, you become the investigator. Follow a trail of suspicious characters, hidden evidence and plot twists, all woven into Saskatoon’s historic downtown.
We’re visiting from out of town—will this double as sightseeing?
Yes. Between clues you’ll pass heritage buildings, boutique lanes and quiet courtyards that most tourists miss. It’s a creative way to learn the city’s stories while solving a mystery.
