What to expect

A chilling crime has shaken Austin, and now it’s up to you to crack the case. Step into the role of a detective as you investigate the mysterious death of Bella Wanderlust, a famous travel blogger whose story ended during a ghostly evening.

With your smartphone as your guide, you’ll follow a GPS-based storyline through the city while solving 10–15 interactive puzzles. Search for clues, analyze evidence, and uncover the secrets of the suspects—was it Walter, the jealous boyfriend, Percy the eccentric ghost guide, or someone more unexpected? Play solo, as a team, or against friends to see who can solve the mystery first.

What makes this experience unique? It transforms Austin into a giant outdoor escape game where the city itself becomes part of your crime scene investigation.

Perfect for couples, families, locals, and groups of friends who want to challenge their detective skills while exploring the city in a fun and unforgettable way.
