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 the Museum of Surrey, this 1.9 km route through Cloverdale passes Hawthorne Square, the Surrey Archives and the Cloverdale library as you question suspects in a travel blogger's death. Couples on a date night, friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of outdoor detective work at their own pace. Anyone wanting a seated murder mystery dinner or a live actor to quiz should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a murder mystery game you can play outdoors in Surrey?
Yes. This self-guided walk through Cloverdale has you investigating the death of travel blogger Bella Wanderlust, found dead during a ghost tour. You gather clues and interrogate suspects, including her boyfriend Walter Bridges and the guide Percy Shadows, on your own phone, starting whenever you like.
Is this a ghost tour of Surrey?
Not a guided one. The story is set on a ghost tour led by the theatrical Percy Shadows, who is one of the suspects, but there is no live guide. The app leads you between places such as the Surrey Archives and Hawthorne Square, tells each place's story and sets a puzzle there.
How is this different from a murder mystery dinner?
There is no meal and no staged cast. You walk about 1.9 km outdoors, solving puzzles at real places and doing the investigating yourselves. You start at a time you pick without booking a slot, and one ticket covers your whole group up to the stated number of devices.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
It starts at the Museum of Surrey and takes around 90 minutes over 1.9 km, passing stops such as the Royal Canadian Legion, Hawthorne Square and the Surrey Libraries Cloverdale Branch. You can pause along the way and continue later.
Is it suitable for kids?
The story centres on a death and on questioning suspects, so it suits older kids and teens who enjoy puzzles and detective stories more than young children. Families with teenagers can share the clue hunting and the final decision on who did it.
