  • 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

This 2 km walk through Victorville's civic quarter passes Victorville Superior Court and a row of law offices before ending at City Hall, as you work out who killed a travel blogger on a ghost tour. Couples, friends and families with teens get around 90 minutes of outdoor detective work instead of an escape room. Anyone hoping for live actors to interrogate should book a staged mystery dinner.

What makes this quest special

Highlights

  • A travel blogger is dead and the trail through Victorville is still warm enough to follow.

  • Read the scene, then read the people, decipher hidden messages and piece the evidence together until the alibis stop agreeing.

  • Twelve stops across 2 km from Civic Dr, past Victorville City Hall, Victorville Superior Court, and Victorville Library, on historic streets and in the corners most visitors walk straight past.

  • A date night that is also a killer group activity, played with your partner, a few friends, or alone if you trust yourself.

  • Just your phone, starting whenever you like, with nothing to collect and nobody waiting on you.

Frequently asked questions

Is this like an escape room in Victorville?
It uses the same kind of puzzle solving, but outdoors. Your phone leads you on a walk of about 2 km past 10 stops, telling the story of each place and setting a puzzle in what is in front of you. There is no room to book and you start whenever you like.
What does the criminal investigation involve?
Travel blogger Bella Wanderlust has been found dead during a ghost tour led by the theatrical Percy Shadows. You gather clues, interrogate suspects such as her boyfriend Walter Bridges and Percy himself, and work out whether one of them did it or someone else was hiding in the shadows.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The route begins at Thompson Law Office and finishes at City Hall, passing the Victorville Superior Court and High Desert Corporate Pointe along the way. Expect around 90 minutes on foot over roughly 2 km, though you can take longer if you stop for a break.
Is it suitable for kids?
The story centres on a death and asks you to question suspects and reason through clues, so it works best for older kids and teens playing alongside adults. Younger children may find the murder theme and the detective puzzles less engaging than a lighter trail.
Can we play as a group, and can we pause?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, and everyone plays on their own phones. There is no set time to book, so you choose when to begin, and you can pause partway through the route and continue later from where you stopped.
