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
This case plays out on a 2.5 km walk through Corona, around 90 minutes, as you work out who killed a travel blogger during a ghost tour. It suits couples and friends who want to question suspects themselves outdoors rather than sit through a staged dinner show. Anyone after an indoor evening, or a story without a killing at its heart, should pick another game.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Corona is still warm enough to follow.
Read the scene, then read the people, decipher hidden messages and piece the evidence together until the alibis stop agreeing.
Twelve stops across 2.5 km from W 6th St, past Corona City Hall, on historic streets and in the corners most visitors walk straight past.
A date night that is also a killer group activity, played with your partner, a few friends, or alone if you trust yourself.
Just your phone, starting whenever you like, with nothing to collect and nobody waiting on you.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a murder mystery dinner show?
No. There is no dinner and there are no actors. It is a self-guided outdoor walk played on your phone, where you gather clues, interrogate suspects and decide who killed Bella Wanderlust. It takes around 90 minutes, and one ticket covers your whole group.
How is this different from an escape room in Corona?
Instead of a locked room with a countdown, the puzzles are set in the streets around you as you walk about 2.5 km. There is no booked slot or staff member waiting, so you start when you like and work through the case at your own pace.
Is it suitable for kids?
The story centres on a death and a list of suspects, so it suits older kids and teens who enjoy deduction and puzzles more than young children. Families with teenagers can split the clue hunting and argue over who did it together.
Do we need to book a time, and can we take a break?
You do not book a time slot. Start whenever suits your group, and if you want to stop for food or a rest, pause the game and continue later from where you left off.
Is it played outdoors, and what if it rains?
Yes, the whole case is played outdoors on foot over about 2.5 km, so dress for the weather. If rain sets in, you can pause the game and finish the investigation later.
