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
The 2.2 km Denver route starts at the point marked LBC and takes around 90 minutes as you question suspects Walter Bridges and Percy Shadows about a travel blogger found dead on his ghost tour. Couples on a date night, groups of friends and families with teens run the investigation themselves. Anyone wanting a staged dinner show with live actors, or an indoor escape room, should pick something else.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Denver 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 2.2 km, past Cherry Creek Shopping Center and Cherry Creek North, 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 there a murder mystery I can play in Denver?
Yes. This is a self-guided murder mystery played outdoors on your phone. The app leads you from place to place across about 2.2 km, tells the story and sets puzzles in what is in front of you while you work out who killed Bella Wanderlust.
How is this different from a murder mystery dinner show in Denver?
There is no dinner and no live cast. You do the investigating yourselves, gathering clues and interrogating suspects through the app while walking the city. You start whenever you like rather than at a set showtime, and you can pause and continue later.
Is it like an escape room?
It shares the puzzle solving, but it takes place outdoors on the streets instead of in a locked room. You solve clues built around the places you pass, there is no booked time slot, and you play on your own phones at your own pace.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The game begins at its first point, listed in the app as LBC. Plan on around 90 minutes to walk the 2.2 km route and solve the case, though you can pause at any point and pick it up again later.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest, so friends or family can play together on their own phones. There is no time to book: start whenever suits you. It works well for teens, but younger children may find a murder story too dark.
Is Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows in Denver self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
Where does Murder Mystery: Death in the Shadows in Denver start and finish?
It starts at Point 1 - LBC, 250 Steele St #104, Denver, CO 80206, USA and finishes at Point 12, 225 Steele St, Denver, CO 80206, USA. The route is approximately 2.2 km and includes 12 location-based puzzles.
What is included with Duo and Fellowship?
Duo provides access on 2 devices. Fellowship provides access on up to 5 devices, so each included player can follow the experience on their own phone.
