Description
Solve a murder on the real streets of Iowa City! This self-guided outdoor game turns the city into an active crime scene as you follow a trail of clues across 12 stops, passing landmarks like Old Capitol, Black Hawk Mini Park, Saint Marys Church, and Newman Catholic Student Center. At each location, you'll examine your surroundings for physical evidence, solve clever puzzles, and uncover dark facts about the spot you're standing in and history's most infamous killers.
The case: Bella Wanderlust, a famous travel blogger, was found dead during a ghost tour run by the theatrical Percy Shadows. The police have suspects, but no answers. Was it Walter, the obsessed boyfriend? Percy, the guide who loves a good show? Or someone still hiding in the shadows? Guided by the Questo app on your phone, you'll question suspects, pick apart alibis, and close in on the killer before they strike again. Play with friends, a partner, or solo, whenever you want. Can you catch the killer before the trail goes cold? Grab your tickets for the Iowa City Murder Mystery now! Please check the instructions below carefully after purchasing to unlock your game code.
