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
Over about 90 minutes and 2.3 km of Roswell streets, you gather clues and question suspects to find who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust on a ghost tour. It suits two people after an evening with a puzzle, or friends who prefer investigating outdoors to a dinner show. Pick something else if you want actors at a table indoors or have young children who'd be upset by a murder plot.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a murder mystery game we can play in Roswell?
Yes. This is a self-guided murder mystery played outdoors on your phone. You walk about 2.3 km through Roswell, gather clues and interrogate suspects to work out who killed travel blogger Bella Wanderlust: her obsessed boyfriend Walter, the dramatic ghost tour guide Percy Shadows, or someone else.
Is this a serial killer event?
Not quite. The story centres on one death: Bella Wanderlust, found dead during a ghost tour. It is a whodunit with invented characters rather than a true crime tour, so you spend the walk weighing suspects and motives. It suits people who enjoy a dark crime story told as a puzzle.
How is it different from a mystery dinner show?
There are no actors and no meal. You and your group are the detectives, playing on your own phones outdoors at a time you choose. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and you can pause and continue later.
How long does it take, and do we need to book a time?
Plan on around 90 minutes to cover about 2.3 km on foot. There is no time slot to book: you start whenever you like, and you can pause to stop for a drink and pick up the case again later. It is played outdoors, so dress for the weather.
Is it suitable for kids?
Older kids and teens who like solving puzzles tend to enjoy it. The story is a murder case with suspects to interrogate, so it is a better fit for them than for young children. Keep in mind the walk is 2.3 km and takes around 90 minutes.
