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 Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail, this 2.1 km loop through Historic Fourth Ward Park passes the Steel Columns Sculpture, the North Ave. Bridge Mural and the amphitheater while you investigate a travel blogger's death. Couples, friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of outdoor detective work on their own phones. If you want a staged murder mystery dinner or an indoor escape room, pick something else.
