CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
"When I die I will be reborn in paradise, and all those I have killed will become my slaves."
Decades ago, the Zodiac Killer carved those words into history then vanished into the fog. The case went cold. The city moved on. Until last night.
A high-security police vault has been breached. The thief ignored the cash and the narcotics but he took only one thing: the original Zodiac evidence files. Now a copycat calling himself The Disciple has scattered the 1969 artifacts across the city and marked innocent citizens for "collection," determined to finish what his Master started.
You're on the task force. Twelve locations, each tied to a Zodiac sign. No set order, only your instincts. And beware: some of them are traps designed to waste your precious time.
🔎 Crack the Zodiac's infamous ciphers, recover the stolen artifacts, and save the victims before the clock runs out. The ink is fresh, the knife is sharp, and the city is screaming for answers.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
This Los Angeles edition sends you on a 2 km walk of around 90 minutes, tracking a copycat called The Disciple who has scattered stolen 1969 Zodiac evidence across the city. True-crime fans, friends and couples after a dark, cipher-heavy game they can start today will enjoy it. Anyone wanting a booked indoor escape room, a guide to question, or a story without murder should pick something else.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A copycat is finishing what the Zodiac started, and The Disciple is working his way through Los Angeles.
Decode the real thing, cryptic notes, punched cards and symbol-filled messages built from the Zodiac's actual letters.
Twelve marked locations across 2 km from North Beverly Drive, past Beverly Hills City Hall, Beverly Gardens Park, and Rodeo Drive, in no fixed order, and some of the pins are traps.
For true crime readers, played with your partner, your friends, or on your own if the ciphers are the draw.
Just your phone, start any time, and trust your gut more than the map.

Frequently asked questions
Is this something we can do in LA today?
Yes. There are no set departure times and no booked slots, so you can start whenever suits you, today or this weekend. You play it on your phone as a self-guided walk, and you can pause and continue later if your plans change.
How long does the Zodiac murder mystery walk take?
Plan on around 90 minutes, covering about 2 km on foot. Because you can pause at any point and pick up again later, you can stop for food or a drink along the way without losing your progress in the case.
Can a group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest. Friends or couples follow the same story together, work through the puzzles as a team and move from place to place at their own pace.
Is it suitable for children?
It is aimed at adults. The story follows a copycat of the Zodiac Killer who marks people for "collection", so the theme is dark. Parents should judge whether older children are comfortable with a serial-killer murder mystery before playing.
Is it indoors like a Zodiac escape room?
No. Instead of a room, you walk outdoors through the city about 2 km, with your phone leading you between places, telling their story and setting puzzles in what is in front of you. Dress for the weather on the day.
Is The Zodiac Mystery: Catching the Disciple in Los Angeles 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 The Zodiac Mystery: Catching the Disciple in Los Angeles start and finish?
It starts at Starting Point and finishes at Ending Point.
How many accesses does our group need?
