Solve the murder of travel blogger Bella Wanderlust, found dead during a ghost tour in Edinburgh, in this self-guided exploration game. Play the role of a detective: gather evidence at real locations across the New Town, question suspects like the theatrical ghost tour guide Percy Shadows, and expose the real murderer.

Along the way you collect clues and solve challenges in the Questo app, note down crucial evidence, and get closer to the truth with every stop. Every statue, plaque and landmark hides a vital clue. The walk covers about 2 km and takes around 1.5 hours, with no time limit.

Are you ready to solve Bella's case before the killer strikes again?
