CASE #01 / YOUR MISSION
Your city. Your suspects.
Your case to crack.
- Real streets
- Fictional crime
- App-guided play
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
A 2.4 km walk through Chula Vista, around 90 minutes from the first point, asks who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust on a ghost tour: boyfriend Walter, guide Percy Shadows or someone else. Couples, friends and families with teens get to gather clues and question suspects themselves. Choose a staged murder dinner if you want actors indoors, or if a story built around a killing is not for your group.

Frequently asked questions
Is this murder mystery suitable for teenagers?
Yes, teens and older kids are a good fit. They question suspects, gather clues and decide whether the boyfriend, the dramatic ghost tour guide or someone else is guilty. The story centres on a death, so it is better suited to teenagers than to young children.
How long does the game take and how far do we walk?
Plan for around 90 minutes, covering about 2.4 km on foot through Chula Vista. You can go at your own pace, and you can pause the game and pick it up again later if you want a break along the way.
Can our whole group play together?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, and everyone can follow the investigation on their own phones. It works well for couples, groups of friends, families with older kids, and birthday, hen or stag groups who want to solve the case together.
Do we need to book a start time?
No. There is no fixed time slot, no guide and no other group to meet. You start whenever suits you, play on your phone as you walk, and can pause and continue later in the same investigation.
Is it indoors or outdoors?
The whole game is played outdoors on a walk through the city, so check the weather and dress for it. If rain arrives, you can pause partway and finish the investigation on another day instead of rushing.
