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
This Aspen edition sends you on a 2.1 km walk through town over around 90 minutes, working out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust during a ghost tour: her boyfriend Walter, guide Percy Shadows, or someone else. Couples on a date night, groups of friends and families with teens enjoy questioning suspects themselves. If you prefer a staged murder mystery dinner or staying indoors, pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the Aspen murder mystery take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for a walk of about 2.1 km through Aspen. You can pause whenever you like, stop for a drink or a meal, and pick up the case again later from where you left off.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. There is no group to join and no guide to meet, so you start whenever suits you. Open the game on your phone and the app leads you from place to place, telling the story and setting the puzzles as you go.
Can we play as a group on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated when you buy. Friends, couples and birthday or hen and stag groups can investigate together, comparing clues and arguing over which suspect did it.
Is it suitable for children?
The case centres on the death of a travel blogger and asks you to question suspects, so it suits older kids and teens who enjoy a detective puzzle. Parents of younger children may prefer a lighter theme.
How is this different from a murder mystery dinner or an escape room?
There are no actors and no room to book. You do the investigating yourselves, outdoors on Aspen's streets, on your own phones and at a time you choose. If rain is forecast, dress for it, as the whole game is played outside.
