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?

Frequently asked questions
Is this a murder mystery dinner in Valencia?
No. There is no dinner, no actors and no host. You walk through Valencia yourselves and solve the case on your phones, gathering clues and interrogating suspects to work out whether the obsessed boyfriend, the theatrical ghost tour guide or someone else killed the blogger.
How is it different from an escape room?
Instead of a locked room, the puzzles are set in the streets and squares in front of you, across 11 stops on a 2.3 km walk. It is played outdoors, there is no time slot to book, and one ticket covers your whole group, each playing on their own phone up to the stated number of devices.
Where does the murder mystery start in Valencia?
It starts in Plaza de la Virgen. From there the app leads you between stops including Plaza de la Reina, the Portal de Valldigna, Plaça de Manises, Plaza Lope de Vega, La Casa de los Gatos and the Mural de la Besada.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for the 2.3 km route and its 11 stops. You can pause at any point and continue later, so taking a break or going at a slower pace is no problem.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens who enjoy cracking a case. The story centres on a death, with suspects to interrogate and clues to piece together, so younger children may find the theme too dark or the reasoning hard to follow.
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.
