CASE #02 / YOUR MISSION
Your city. Your suspects.
Your case to crack.
- Real streets
- Fictional crime
- App-guided play
CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
What started as a romantic speed-dating night turned into a murder mystery.
Just as introductions begin, a chilling scream tears through the crowd, one of the guests has been murdered, and the killer has fled into the city.
Before panic can take hold, Agent X steps forward. This was no random attack. Every participant is now part of a deadly puzzle, and the only way to survive is to solve it.
Was it the charming Yoga instructor who vanished right after the scream? The wedding singer seen arguing with the victim? Or someone else hiding their true identity among the dating profiles?
🔎 Follow clues across the city, interrogate suspects in real locations, and track the killer's movements before they disappear for good.
Bring your sharpest instincts—and your pen and paper. In 90 minutes, the trail will go cold.
Love was the reason you came. Justice is why you stay.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
A speed-dating night in McAllen ends in murder, and you follow the killer's trail on foot for about 2 km and around 90 minutes, weighing up suspects such as the yoga instructor and the wedding singer. Couples, double dates and groups of friends wanting a murder mystery without a dinner show will enjoy it. Skip it if you want live actors or a seated evening indoors.
