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 and ending at the Monumento all'Alfiere dell'Esercito Sardo, this 2 km loop through Turin passes Palazzo Lascaris, the Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle and Piazza San Carlo while you question suspects in a travel blogger's death. Couples, friends and families with teens who like investigating themselves will enjoy around 90 minutes of sleuthing. Anyone wanting live actors or an indoor setting should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
How do you solve the case?
The app leads you from stop to stop in central Turin, where you gather clues, interrogate suspects and solve puzzles set in what is in front of you. Your goal is to work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust: her boyfriend Walter, ghost tour guide Percy Shadows, or someone else.
Where does the Turin murder mystery start and where does it go?
It starts at the Monumento all'Alfiere dell'Esercito Sardo, then visits the Statua equestre di Polluce, Palazzo Lascaris, the Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle, Fontana Angelica and Piazza San Carlo before returning to the monument. The walk is about 2 km.
Can we play with just 2 participants?
Yes. Two players work well, and couples are one of the main groups who play it. Larger groups can join too, since one ticket covers your whole group up to the number of devices stated, and everyone plays on their own phones.
How long does it take, and do we need to book a time?
Plan on around 90 minutes for the 2 km route. There is no set time slot and no guide to meet, so you can start whenever suits you. You can also pause along the way and continue later.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older children and teens best. The story centres on a death, and the puzzles ask you to weigh clues and suspects like a detective, which younger children may find hard to follow. Families with teens are among the groups who play it.
Is this a murder mystery dinner in Turin?
No. You become the detectives outdoors in Turin, following evidence and suspects in the Questo app rather than watching actors during a meal.
Is this an escape room?
No. It has puzzles and a case to solve, but the investigation takes place outdoors around the city rather than in a locked room.
What do Duo and Fellowship include?
Duo provides access on 2 devices. Fellowship provides access on up to 5 devices, so every included detective can follow the case on their own phone.
