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
Across 2.2 km of Greenville streets and about 90 minutes, you work out how travel blogger Bella Wanderlust died on a ghost tour, weighing her boyfriend Walter against the showy guide Percy. Friends who would rather investigate outdoors than sit through a staged dinner will enjoy it, as will couples after a different evening out. Anyone wanting a light-hearted story or an indoor, seated game should choose another quest.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a murder mystery game I can play in Greenville, NC?
Yes. This is a self-guided outdoor murder mystery played on your phone. You walk about 2.2 km around Greenville, gather clues and interrogate suspects to work out who killed Bella Wanderlust: her obsessed boyfriend Walter, the dramatic ghost tour guide Percy Shadows, or someone else.
Is this a murder mystery dinner?
No. There is no meal and no actors. Instead of watching a staged mystery at a table, you do the investigating yourselves on foot, following the app from place to place and solving puzzles in what you see around you. It takes around 90 minutes.
How is it different from an escape room?
It is played outdoors on your own phones rather than in a locked room, and there is no time slot to book. You start whenever suits you, walk about 2.2 km while solving puzzles based on real places, and can pause and continue later.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest. There is no guide and no fixed departure, so you can start any time you like, and you can pause partway and pick it up again later.
Is it suitable for kids?
It works best for older kids and teens who enjoy puzzles and detective stories. The plot centres on a woman found dead and asks players to question suspects about her murder, so it is better suited to that age group than to young children.
