Description
This murder mystery experience is a true whodunit with suspects, alibis and a twist ending. Every clue hides in something real: a plaque, a statue, a facade in downtown Halifax. You will collect the evidence, piece together the case and accuse a suspect at the finale. We offer 24/7 customer support and built-in hints to guarantee that you never stay stuck. Also, the app will provide real historical facts and local legends about the landmarks you're visiting, making a learning experience as much as it's a fun one. The game can be played anytime, at any hour, and will take you ~90-120 minutes with optional cafe breaks. You can pause and resume whenever you want (even on another day). Total walking distance involved is about 1.5 miles and the game will end in the same area where it started, making it easy to fit into your day. It has intermediate difficulty and it's perfect for solo adventurers, couples, friends, families with older kids, or team-building events.
