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 at Place Kléber, this 2.2 km case passes the Église du Temple-Neuf, Place du Château and Place Gutenberg while you question suspects in the death of a travel blogger on a ghost tour.

If you want actors at a murder party dinner, or are bringing young children, pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this like a murder party in Strasbourg?
It is a murder mystery you solve yourselves outdoors rather than a staged dinner. Your phones lead you between real places in the old centre, where you gather clues and interrogate suspects such as Walter, the obsessed boyfriend, and Percy Shadows, the dramatic ghost tour guide, to work out who killed Bella Wanderlust.
Where does the murder mystery start and how long does it take?
It starts at Place Kléber and covers about 2.2 km on foot, taking around 90 minutes. Stops along the way include the Église du Temple-Neuf, the Historical Museum of the City of Strasbourg, Place du Château and Place Gutenberg.
Is it suitable for children?
The case centres on a murder during a ghost tour, so it suits older kids and teens best, especially those who enjoy questioning suspects and piecing clues together. Younger children may find the theme and the detective work less suited to them.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and each person can follow the investigation on their own phone. It works well for couples, friends, and birthday, hen or stag groups who want to solve the case as a team.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No time slot is needed. You start whenever you like, with no guide or other group to meet. If you want a coffee break or need to stop, you can pause the game and continue the investigation later from where you left off.
What case do we investigate in Death in the Shadows?
Travel blogger Bella Wanderlust is found dead during a ghost tour. You examine the evidence around her boyfriend Walter Bridges, guide Percy Shadows and other possible suspects.
Is this like a murder-mystery dinner or an escape room?
You become the detectives outdoors, following app-guided evidence and puzzles through the city. It is not a hosted dinner or a locked indoor room.
What do Duo and Fellowship include?
Duo gives access on 2 devices. Fellowship gives access on up to 5 devices, so each included detective can follow the case on their own phone.
