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 Marietta route covers 1.9 km in around 90 minutes, as you piece together how travel blogger Bella Wanderlust died on a ghost tour and whether boyfriend Walter or guide Percy Shadows is to blame. Couples, friends and families with teens question suspects and crack it themselves outdoors. Anyone after a staged murder mystery dinner, an indoor escape room or a story without a death should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this like an escape room in Marietta?
It uses the same love of clues and deduction, but it happens outdoors rather than in a locked room. You walk about 1.9 km through Marietta, following the app from place to place, gathering evidence and questioning suspects on your phone until you can name the killer.
How long does the murder mystery walk take?
Plan on around 90 minutes to cover the 1.9 km route and solve the case. There is no clock forcing you along, so you can stop for a coffee or a meal, pause the game and pick up the investigation later where you left off.
Is it suitable for kids?
The story centres on a death, with a jealous boyfriend and a dramatic ghost tour guide among the suspects, so it suits older kids and teens who enjoy puzzles more than young children. Families usually play it together, with adults helping to weigh up the clues.
Can our group play together, and do we need to book a time?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, and everyone plays on their own phones. There is no time slot, guide or other group to join, so you start whenever suits you, whether that is an afternoon with friends or the start of a date night.
Is it all outdoors, and what if it rains?
The whole game is played outside as you walk between places in Marietta, so dress for the weather. If rain arrives partway through, you can pause the quest, shelter or head home, and continue the investigation on another day.
