Description
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 Charleston's French Quarter, 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.
