The adventure
About this quest
Forget every ghost story you've heard about this city. This Halloween, ten restless spirits are loose on its streets. 👻 No history book knows their names. No tour guide has heard of them. Most are just lost souls. One is lying to you. 💀
A hooded Oracle needs a ghost hunter. Every spirit is stuck on unfinished business: solve its mystery, catch it, and it gives up a clue. Follow the trail across town, crack ciphers and riddles (some only the street itself can answer), then name the Evil One and destroy it before it finds you. 🕷️
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting at LBC, this 2.3 km trail across St. Petersburg takes around 90 minutes: track ten restless spirits, crack ciphers and riddles only the street can answer, and name the one lying to you. Friends, couples, older kids and escape-room fans who prefer playing to listening will enjoy it. If you want a live guide's night walk, or have young children who scare easily, choose another outing.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a ghost tour of St. Petersburg?
It is a self-guided ghost hunt rather than a guided tour. Your phone leads you across town after ten restless spirits that no history book or tour guide knows, because they were created for this game. You play the ghost hunter instead of listening to a guide.
What do you actually do on this ghost hunting experience?
A hooded Oracle sends you after spirits stuck on unfinished business. For each one you solve its mystery, catch it and receive a clue. Along the way you crack ciphers and riddles, some answered only by looking at the street, and finally name the Evil One and destroy it.
What hours can we play, and how long does it take?
There is no fixed start time and no booking slot, so you can begin whenever suits you. Plan on about 90 minutes for a walk of roughly 2.3 km. You can pause at any point and continue the hunt later.
Is it suitable for kids?
It is tagged Horror and Haunts and involves ciphers, riddles and a lying spirit you must expose, so it suits older kids and teens who enjoy a spooky puzzle more than young children. Families can solve the clues together as they walk.
Can our group play together?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, playing on up to the number of devices the ticket allows. Friends, couples, families and solo thrill-seekers all follow the same trail and solve the same mysteries as a team.
