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
Starting in Thompson Park on Santa Fe Drive, this 2.2 km route through downtown Overland Park passes Matt Ross Community Center, Stone Manor and Clock Tower Plaza while you question suspects in a travel blogger's death. Couples, friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of doing the detective work themselves. Anyone wanting a staged dinner with actors, or an indoor evening, should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a murder mystery dinner in Overland Park?
No. There are no actors and no meal included. You walk outdoors through downtown Overland Park, gather clues and interrogate suspects on your phone. The route starts near Hummus and Pita and passes Tiki Taco, so it is easy to add a meal before or after.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
You start at Thompson Park on Santa Fe Dr, near Hummus and Pita. The route covers about 2.2 km with stops such as the Matt Ross Community Center, Stone Manor and Clock Tower Plaza. Most groups take around 90 minutes.
Is it suitable for kids?
It works best for older kids and teens who enjoy solving a case. The story centres on a death and questioning suspects, so it suits players old enough to follow a murder plot and reason through clues, rather than young children.
Do we need to book a time, and can our group play together?
There is no set time slot or guide, so you can start whenever suits you, including today. One ticket covers your whole group, and you play on your own phones. You can also pause partway and continue later.
What if it rains?
The game is played outdoors, walking between park paths, streets and plazas, so bring a jacket or umbrella in wet weather. Since you can pause and pick up later, you can also wait out a heavy shower before carrying on.
