CASE #01 / YOUR MISSION
Your city. Your suspects.
Your case to crack.
- Real streets
- Fictional crime
- 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
Starting at the Florida Historic Capitol Museum and Firefighters Memorial, this 2.1 km downtown walk passes City Hall, Kleman Plaza and First Presbyterian Church as you work out who killed a travel blogger on a ghost tour. Couples, friends and families with teens who like cracking a case themselves will enjoy the roughly 90 minutes. Anyone after a seated murder dinner or an indoor escape room should look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a good alternative to an escape room in Tallahassee?
It suits people who like escape room puzzles but want to be outdoors. Instead of a locked room, you walk through downtown Tallahassee on your own phones, gather clues, interrogate suspects and solve puzzles set in the places around you to work out who killed Bella Wanderlust.
Where does the murder mystery start and where does it go?
It starts at the Florida Historic Capitol Museum and Florida Firefighters Memorial. The route takes in 12 stops downtown, including Tallahassee City Hall, Kleman Plaza, the Challenger Learning Center, First Presbyterian Church and Bloxham Park on S Monroe St.
How long does it take and can we pause?
Plan for around 90 minutes covering about 2.1 km on foot. You can pause whenever you like, for a meal or a break, and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for kids?
It works best for older kids and teens alongside adults. The story centres on a death and a list of suspects, and the puzzles involve reading clues and questioning characters, so younger children may find it hard to follow or not to their taste.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
No time slot is needed. You start whenever suits you, with no guide and no other groups. One ticket covers your whole group, and everyone plays together on their phones as you walk the route.
