Become the lead investigator in a self-guided murder mystery game that turns Charleston's French Quarter into your own crime scene. Your case: a romantic speed-dating night ended with a scream, one of the guests is dead, and the killer has fled the scene. As the new detective, you will start at Washington Square, where the app hands you the case file and your first lead. The trail will take you through the historic French Quarter, past cobblestone lanes and landmarks like Charleston City Hall and St. Michael's Church at the Four Corners of Law. At each stop you will investigate your surroundings (inscriptions, statues, plaques, facades, etc.) to solve a puzzle that will reveal a piece of evidence. Every solved puzzle unlocks the instructions for the next chapter, plus some fun historical facts about the locations you're visiting.
You can play alone or bring your whole group. The game can be played all day, any day: just book a ticket and play whenever you want. It ends near the same area where it starts and will take you about 90-120 minutes (including optional coffee breaks that you can take whenever you like). The total walking distance is about 1.5 miles (2.5 km).
