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
Couples after a date night with a twist, groups of friends and families with teens can spend around two hours on a 3 km walk through Devonport's CBD, gathering clues and questioning suspects in the death of travel blogger Bella Wanderlust. The route runs from Roundhouse Park past the Regional Gallery to the Spirit of Tasmania lookout. Anyone wanting a live host running the night, or a seated indoor evening, should book a murder mystery dinner instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is this murder mystery like an escape room?
It shares the puzzle solving and the race to an answer, but it is played outdoors on your own phones as you walk through Devonport's CBD. You gather clues, interrogate suspects and work out who killed Bella Wanderlust, using what you find at real places along a 3 km route.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Roundhouse Park and the route is a loop. You walk via the Waterfront parklands at Haines Park, the Devonport Post Shop, the Devonport Regional Gallery and the From Vision to Reality Poppy Sculpture, finishing at the Spirit of Tasmania lookout, back near where you began.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Most players take around two hours, including the walking and the puzzles. The route covers about 3 km through the CBD and along the waterfront. You can pause the game and continue later if you want a break for food or coffee along the way.
Can we play as a group?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together, so couples, friends or a birthday or hen party can investigate side by side. Everyone can follow along on their own phones, and you choose when to start, with no set time to book and no guide to wait for.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits older kids and teens best. The story centres on a death during a ghost tour, with suspects to interrogate and clues to piece together, and the walk lasts around two hours over about 3 km, which is a lot for younger children.
