About this experience
This murder mystery experience is a true whodunit with suspects, alibis and a twist ending. It involves open world gameplay, where you receive a set of leads (locations) that you have to visit and you decide the order. At each location, you will solve a puzzle by interacting with something real, a plaque, a statue, a facade in San Antonio's Southtown, and collect the evidence to piece together the case and find the culprit.
We offer 24/7 customer support and built-in hints to guarantee that you never stay stuck. The app will also provide real historical facts and local legends about the landmarks you're visiting.
You can play anytime, at any hour. It will take you ~90-120 minutes with optional cafe breaks and you can pause and resume whenever.
Total walking distance is about 1.5 miles and the game ends in the same area where it started.
It's perfect for date nights, solo adventurers, couples, friends, families with older kids, or team-building events.

Itinerary and highlights
Become the lead investigator in a self-guided murder mystery game that turns San Antonio's Southtown 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 on South Alamo Street, where the app hands you the case file and your first lead. The trail will take you through Southtown, San Antonio's colorful arts district, along the edge of the King William Historic District, past murals, galleries and historic facades. 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).
