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
From the start at LBC in Trois-Rivières, a 2.4 km walk of around 90 minutes has you questioning suspects and gathering clues about a travel blogger found dead on a ghost tour. Couples, friends and families with teens who would rather investigate outdoors than attend a staged murder dinner enjoy it. Indoor fans and parents of young children should pick something else, since the story centres on a killing.

Frequently asked questions
Is this like an escape room with a crime scene to investigate?
In spirit, yes, but it is played outdoors on your phone rather than in a locked room. You walk about 2.4 km through Trois-Rivières, gathering clues and interrogating suspects to work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust. You choose the start time and can pause and continue later.
What is the murder mystery story you have to solve?
Bella Wanderlust, a famous travel blogger, is found dead during a ghost tour led by the theatrical Percy Shadows. Was it Walter Bridges, her obsessed boyfriend, Percy himself, or someone else hiding in the shadows? You gather clues and question suspects along the route to uncover the truth.
Is this a good way to see Trois-Rivières?
It is a walk of about 2.4 km through the city, with the app leading you from place to place and telling the story of each one while you work on the case. The focus is the mystery, so treat it as a playful way to explore rather than a full sightseeing tour.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The quest starts at Point 1, LBC, in Trois-Rivières. Plan on around 90 minutes to walk the 2.4 km route and solve the case, though you can take longer, since the game can be paused and picked up again later.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, and everyone can follow along on their own phones. There is no fixed time slot and no guide to meet, so you start whenever suits you. The story centres on a death, so it suits adults, teens and older kids best.
