- App-guided play
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
Couples on a date night, friends and families with teens get to do the detective work themselves. Over about 100 minutes you walk a 2.2 km loop from Gardiner Fountain past the Wehl Street Theatre, gathering clues and questioning suspects in a travel blogger's death. If you want a live host, an indoor setting or something for young children not ready for a murder story, choose another option.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a good app for solving a mystery together with other people?
Yes, it is built for playing together. Your group walks through central Mount Gambier on your own phones, reads the story at each stop, gathers clues and questions suspects to work out who killed Bella Wanderlust during a ghost tour. Was it her boyfriend Walter, the guide Percy, or someone else?
Where does the murder mystery start and finish?
It starts and ends at Gardiner Fountain, so you finish where you began. In between, the route takes you to the Wehl Street Theatre and the Australia Post Mount Gambier Post Shop before leading you back to the fountain for the final reveal.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Most players take about 100 minutes, so allow close to two hours including walking and puzzles. The route covers about 2.2 km. You can pause at any point and pick up again later if you want a coffee break along the way.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together, and everyone can follow along on their own phones. There is no set time slot and no group to join, so you can start whenever suits you, day or evening.
Is it suitable for children?
It works best for older kids and teens alongside adults. The story centres on a death and a cast of suspects, and the puzzles ask you to weigh clues and statements, so very young children may find it both too dark and too hard to follow.
